They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed.

Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before—the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted—and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden.

In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined. And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again.

Picked up book

Really enjoying this series

Will take to the next B/Crossing catch up. If not picked up will leave at the OBCZ at the Brisbane Library

Picked up at the Bris BC lunch, I couldn't resist a pandemic themed series! Thanks for sharing, this will go onto my TBR shelf :)

Book two and the magic has risen so seamlessly from the depths of a pandemic that I have continued to love this series despite my previous disinterest in fantasy novels. It is a whole world of it's own even through moving the storyline from book 1 to 3. Looking forward to a little break between books before moving into the finale :)
Thank you for sharing! I'm taking this to the BC Bris lunch and will pass along or release nearby.

Picked up at Meetup at Let Minnow.
