Fraction of Stone by Kelley Lynn
Release Date: March 21st, 2013 by Sapphire Star Publishing
Genre: YA Fantasy
Book Description:
Wind tunnels, torrential rains and earthquakes tear apart Casden. The cause of the world’s imbalance is unknown, but the mounting occurrences suggest there’s little time before life ceases to exist.
Rydan Gale and Akara Nazreth are the only humans with the ability to wield magic. The tattoo on their necks and the discovery of an ancient book, dictate they are the key to the world’s survival.
But the greatest obstacle for saving mankind isn’t the bizarre creatures, extreme betrayals and magic-fearing men hunting them.
It’s that Akara doesn’t believe the world is worth saving.

About the Author:
Eventually the day came when the voices in Kelley Lynn’s head were more insistent then her engineering professor’s. So instead of turning to her Thermodynamics book, Kelley brought up a blank page on her computer screen and wrote. Somewhere along the way she became a Young Adult author.
Kelley was born and raised a Midwestern girl. She’s not afraid to sweat and fills her free time with softball, soccer and volleyball. (Though you probably don’t want her on your volleyball team.) She occasionally makes guest appearances as a female vocalist for area bands.
You can find Kelley hanging out at her blog, titled in her name, as well as the group blog she shares with her fellow critique partners, Falling for Fiction. Kelley is a member of the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators.

Thank you Vikki at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author for hosting this weekly blog hop.
Before I go and wish you all a happy weekend my small celebrations for this week include;
- Having a surprise win of £50. I am putting it straight into my summer holiday fund!
- Undertaking some research for my new project. An MG fantasy. Yay for new ideas!
What are you celebrating this week?
That cover reminds me of a light fitting we had in the bedroom - I had to remove it once I realised it was a big eye staring at me!
ReplyDeleteSorry, got distracted there ... Sounds interesting. I'm sure Akara can be convinced the world is worth saving - there are lots of good people and things in it.
I hope the world is worth saving! That light fitting sounds kinda scary!
