OF BLOOD AND BONE Chronicles of The One, Book 2

Julia Whelan masterfully narrates the quiet everyday moments of a new world in which people live like settlers. Her voice rises in tones of shock, urgency, passion, and vulnerability when the new normal is tested by raiders and purity warriors that exist "post Doom." This second book of a trilogy features young Fallon Swift, who is both sheltered and wise beyond her years. Whelan straddles this dichotomy with squeals of glee at a child's delights and a tone of determination when Fallon takes on challenges destined only for her. Amid the continual contrast between light and dark, Whelan transitions between the sweetly high-pitched tones of children and fairies and the cruel voices of loathsome villains.
