It's not your average, throw-away fantasy novel. It will leave you wanting more. -- Chris Miller of Podiobooks.com

The world feels familiar and yet fresh, with magic and politics which...provide an urgent and Byzantine plot that races along. -- Michael A. Stackpole, NY Times Bestselling author of I, Jedi

Product Description
FROM THE BACK COVER:
...In a breath, she was condemned...
Ever since her mother nearly destroyed their village with outlawed magic, Elena has wanted nothing more than to raise her only child in peace. But that peace is shattered when she calls the Breath to save her daughter’s life. . .
...In a race against hope...
When her daughter is ripped away from her, she is forced to confront her hatred of her mother, the Breath, and her drunken, ex-hero of a husband as she races across the country to steal her daughter back from the two most powerful men alive. But the Duke and the Overlord each have their own plans for her. . .
...That only one can win...
A pawn in a game of thrones, she must find a way to rescue her daughter and defeat them both. If she can not, the entire world will pay the price.
REVIEWS:
From Michael A. Stackpole, New York Times Bestselling Author of I, Jedi:
Lonnie Ezell introduces heroic fantasy fans into a brand new fantasy world reminiscent of the worlds of Jennifer Roberson and Melanie Rawn. The characters are well written and have depth, like Elena who possesses powers thought evil by most people, and who resists using them except in the most dire of circumstances. The world feels familiar and yet fresh, with magic and politics which, when woven together, provide an urgent and Byzantine plot that races along. This is not a book that will disappoint.
From Jason Schulte, The Nut Gallery Review:
This book pulls you in like your lungs pull in air. This book should come with a caution on it that says once you pop it open you can’t stop yourself from reading it. The most wonderful thing about this book is the pictures that Mr. Ezell paints with his words. I could almost here the boots on the stone paths of Harts Haven and smell the wax in Elena’s shop. The characters come alive and make you care about their well being. You want the best for them and at times I could feel myself almost willing the story along, trying to help them on their journey. It has been many years since a book has caused my heart to race and this book did it more than once. If you are looking for a fantasy book to pull you in and to wrap its reality around yours, then this is the book for you.
