The Ember Gods (Kilenya Series, 2) by Andrea Pearson
Genre(s): Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy & Magic, Teens, Fantasy
P lease note that this is the second book in the Kilenya Series. The Key of Kilenya, book one, is available as a free download, and this book The Ember Gods, is available for $0.99 until March 3, 2013. Thank you!
Description:
Jacob Clark has just returned from the world of Eklaron, where he frustrated the evil plans of the Lorkon and returned the magical Key of Kilenya to its rightful owners. His quest is far from over, though–Aloren is trapped in Maivoryl City by the Ember Gods, and Jacob can’t return to save her until he receives the potion that will protect his team from the corrosive influence of the Lorkon.
Balancing between this new world and his own proves tricky. Not only has he started his first year of high school, but his magical abilities are bringing him too much attention. He feels pulled by both sides, hoping he’ll figure out his special powers to save Aloren in time.
Praise and reviews for The Key of Kilenya:
“The Key of Kilenya is full of adventure and wonderful, mythical-type creatures–totally unique. This book is like Fablehaven meets Harry Potter with a sprinkling of Lord of the Rings. A good, fun, clean read for the whole family.” – Jennifer Hurst
“As a mother, it’s refreshing to know there are authors writing fantasy, like The Key of Kilenya, that is not dark and depressing.” – Kimberly Job
“Andrea
balances excitement with thought, external conflict with inner, and
adds just the right mix of mystery and realism.” – Karen Hoover
“This is the beginning of a middle grade series that is sure to be great. Both youths and adults will enjoy The Key of Kilenya.” – Jewel Adams
“To be quite honest, I don’t usually read books in this genre. However, I loved Harry Potter so I took a chance and I have to admit, I liked it! A lot!” – Mandi Slack
“Overall, like the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, I would most certainly say this book is worth multiple reads.” – Reviewer
“It is an adventure filled ride that is perfect for middle grade students who love action and science fiction.” – Cindy
“The fantastical elements really feel original. In fact, reading this put me in mind of the creatures you would come across in Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, because the creatures really aren’t the norm.” – Lisa
“I love the Harry Potter references, as a typical teen has most definitely become familiar with those books.” Heidi – Goodreads Reviewer
“As in Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, and the Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan, Harry Potter by JK Rowling, Fablehaven by
Brandon Mull and other great books, a teenage boy lives an ordinary
life while another world thinks he’s something special… It’s gripping
all the way through.” – Patricia
“Get this book. You won’t be disappointed unless you have no imagination and don’t like books such as the Harry Potter series (JK Rowling), Fablehaven (Brandon Mull), Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus (Rick Riordan) or movies like Stardust, etc.” – Karl, Reviewer
“Similar to Rick Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus and the Percy Jackson series, this is just a very fun, creative, exciting adventure!” – Debra Smith
“The
story has many twists and turns and loads of suspense throughout it and
will keep the reader fascinated from start to finish. Reminded me of
the Heroes of Olympus books or even Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan and Fablehaven written by Brandon Mull.” – Karen
“If you like books written by award winning authors such as Brandon Mull (Fablehaven, Beyonders) and Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson, Kane Chronicles, Heroes of Olympus), than you will LOVE The Key of Kilenya.” – Sarah
“I love the Fablehaven books by Brandon Mull, but the first one started slow for me. The Key of Kilenya doesn’t start slow.” – Rhonda Lynne Bingham

T he defining moments of young Ethan Opochensky’s life occurred during the summer he spent with his cousin Alice in the small, rural town of Meddersville. Three children disappeared that summer, his cousin among them. Nine-year-old Ethan believes he knows the killer, but his story is so fanciful, it is dismissed out of hand.
Twenty-five years later, children are once again disappearing in Meddersville. Ethan returns to Meddersville to separate fact from childish fantasy, to discover the truth behind Alice’s disappearance, and to bring her killer to justice.
The Summer We Lost Alice is a story of loss and grief, of courage, of family, and ultimately, of healing and the triumph of an enduring spirit.
Full length novel. Contains paranormal elements, a trace of mild language, no explicit sex. No child violence.
