3 1/2 of 5 starsChalice journeys to Brandbury at her grandfather's instructions.  When she arrives, she discovers the town is abandoned.  She is reunited with her childhood friend Jeremiah. They set out on a journey to find their family and friends; making some interesting discoveries along the way.  Among them, Chalice's birthmark is in a book of prophecy.The Raie'Chaelia sets the foundation for the series.  It explains a lot of the details and politics of their world.  I like the characters and the bonds of friendship that form.I read the trilogy back to back.  This series crescendos, getting more exciting the whole way.Complimentary copy provided by author in exchange for an honest review.
