Rating: 5 out of 5

I have been waiting for this sequel ever since I finished reading Heir of Earth. I didn't even know this novel had come out, so as soon as I saw that it was available on Amazon, I immediately bought it and started reading. And let's just say, I devoured this book. Rosemary Clair has created yet another heart-stopping, whirlwind adventure that will sweep any reader off their feet. This novel picks up shortly after Faye returns from LisTirna. She is thrust into the spotlight, and is quickly shuffled away to a boarding school. However, Faye's powers are still developing and she has no way to either control or use them properly. After several events at school, Faye, thanks to her new friends Sam and Mattie, hops on board a plane and heads to Peru to seek out Chassan, the Son of the Sun god, Apollo (or Itzi). From there, the reader goes on a roller coaster of emotions. There is much action and adventure, and plenty of culture that will satisfy mythology and cultural buffs alike.One of the best things about this novel (and Heir of Earth) is Ms. Clair's impeccable writing. Throughout the entire novel, I felt like I was right there next to Faye, experiencing everything that she was experiencing, and growing with her as her powers developed. I honestly felt that if I were to look up, I would be in the wilds of Peru with the last remain descendants of the Incans. Everything comes to life in Ms. Clair's books, and it is literally one of the best feelings in the world.Faye is still a wonderfully strong lead character, and she grows even more in this novel. Shen will stop at nothing to figure out how her powers work, what it will take to control them, and how to get Dayne back. I loved all the scenes with her and Chassan, but I especially loved the scenes with her and Anyi, an Incan girl that she meets while in Peru. I will warn you now, Dayne doesn't make an appearance until the end of this novel, however Chassan more than makes up for this. Chassan, as much as I wanted to hate him, kind of wormed his way into my heart. I will be interested to see how (or if) his character is brought into the next book, and what will happen with him in the future. The ending to this book is shocking and fabulously written. There was non-stop action, and a twist ending that you will never see coming. I kept hoping that I was missing pages or something because I didn't want the book to end how it did. Suffice to say, I definitely need the next book as soon as possible, and will be keeping an even closer eye out for when it will be released.I highly recommend reading this book if you were a fan of Heir of Earth. This will blow you away and impress you with the amount of detail and culture woven into the story. This is a surefire hit, and I feel like this series needs more attention. Definitely spread the word if you love this book, because this series could easily become the "next big thing!"5++++++ stars
