Jetsam has lost everything; his family has been murdered and his birthright to attend the School of Magic has been revoked. To survive he has joined a gang of orphans who scour the tunnels under the city for food and supplies. His new life is riddled with dangers ranging from creatures that also live in the tunnels to the city guards who have no patience for orphaned kids. Even with all of the adversity the children face they have managed to create a happy home for themselves until further tragedy strikes forcing Jetsam to leave Dwim- Halloe. Jetsam's only hope of ever having a normal life is to find the most wanted man in the land, Seryn Vardan. His quest will not be easy. Yduk the bounty hunter is hot on his trail and the lands are packed with peril.Crimson and Cream is an action-filled fantasy. Jetsam is a loveable character who is easy to root for. Author C.M. Skiera did a brilliant job of creating believable dialogue that felt natural. His descriptions of the monsters and landscape are breathtaking and really pulled me into his book. This is a great book for fantasy readers and those who are looking to dabble in the genre.(This book was provided to Compulsion Reads for review by the author.)
