Synopsis

One day to save her friend, and a world she never knew existed...

Her house alive with secrets, her closest friend abducted, a portal to another world beneath her house. Can Adaline use her wings and wit to save her friend and a realm her family once ruled? In Bodhiasphere, the warlock has lost control, dragons await the return of their masters, and immortal forevermores remain slaves to a corrupt queen who is cursed by the undertakers of the Sphere. Adaline must learn to use her wings and wit wisely to reverse the fortunes of the realm, but with only one day before Violet's execution, she must seek alliances quickly and avoid detection at all costs…

The Crystal and the Curse is the first epic novel in The Sphere Chronicles series, a magic sword and sorcery fantasy series with a strong teenage vegan female main character, set with one foot in the fantasy world, and one in the urban world. An enchanting blend of magical fantasy characters and mythical beasts for young adult, tween and advanced middle-grade readers with challenging text and mysterious sub plots, a hint of romance and an allegory that highlights the plight of animals in factory farming. For those searching for clean teen, coming of age and young adult dystopian fantasy books, this book will leave you wanting to explore the world of Bodhiasphere - rich with many species who have many stories to tell...

Look out for the next in the series - The Omen of the Strix.
