Enlightenment
by Liz Keel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy/YA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
After losing
everything, all seventeen-year-old Thea wanted was to be a normal teenager.
Instead, she was attacked by a mysterious creature she thought only existed in fairy
tales. Now thrown into the unknown realm of Faey, Thea is forced to determine
the difference between reality and fantasy, in a world ruled by a dark elite
and a society wracked by intolerance and prejudice. With the support of her new
friends and a mysterious dark haired, blue-eyed guardian watching her every
move, Thea will discover that when it comes to Faey, nothing is what it seems.
Will her courage and desire to save this new world from darkness be enough? Or
will Thea be the next victim to fall to the dark whispers of fate...

I
know the way I’m describing him might make you wonder why I’m not talking about
him as something more than just a friend, but that’s the complicated part. You
see, my feelings for him are purely platonic, but I don’t think he feels the
same. The way Eli looks at me sometimes…the subtle hints…the way he grabs my
hand and won’t let go, I think he wants something more and I’m not sure what to
do about it. And however selfish this might sound, I need him in my life and
can’t mess up our friendship, even to see if there could possibly be something
more to our relationship. What if it all went wrong?
“Hey
Thea,” Eli had whispered into my ear. “Mom says that when you’re discharged you’re
coming home with us, period. No arguing.” I’d squeezed him back, gratefully burying
my face in the crook of his neck, unable to communicate how much he and his family
meant to me. At least they would be able to keep the loneliness at bay.
We
sat like that for ages, me just breathing in his woody, musky smell, wondering
how I was meant to function again. He twisted strands of my dark brown hair
around his fingers and occasionally stroked his thumb along the side of my chin
in a soothing manner. I could hear his mother and father in deep discussions
with the police officers, and heard them say it was a miracle I was alive. Tell
me about it. The only other person who had been around was Eli’s four-year-old
sister Leela, who kept coming up with big, round, sad eyes, patting me on the
leg whilst trying to get me to take Buggles, her much loved toy rabbit. She had
known something was wrong and had tried her hardest to fix it in the only way
she knew how.

I live in Surrey,
England, a short walk from the beautiful Windsor Park, with my husband Richard
and our two gorgeous children Noah and Olivia. For me, writing is nothing short
of an addiction and I often find myself sneaking out to my writing shed for
just a few minutes, which can often turn into hours of pure, unadulterated
bliss catching up with my characters and continuing their story. In-between
writing, I teach in a primary school where there’s never a dull moment! I will
also often be found Kindle in hand, reading a wide variety of genres but with
YA fantasy and paranormal romance at the forefront of my reading list. Although
I’m currently writing the second book in the Driel trilogy, other characters
involving all things fantasy, paranormal and YA romance are jockeying for
position, wanting me to write their story next, so watch this space! It is such
a privilege to share my stories with you the reader. Thank you enough for
taking the time to find out more about me.

Great summary! I want to ask Liz about the proper pronunciation of "Faey" just to make sure sure I'm reading it correctly :D
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteIt's Faey - rhymes with bay
I hope this helps and thank you for your question!
