Embark on a journey to the enigmatic realm of Dohva, where elemental magic reigns supreme and ancient secrets lie buried beneath the mountains.
In the isolated land of Dohva, where souls are trapped in an endless cycle of rebirth by an ancient elemental sphere, a malevolent force wields the forbidden dark magic of the demon prince Agthod.
Avala, a rebellious air sorceress haunted by the loss of her closest friend, is driven to unravel the mysteries that have long plagued her world. She finds unlikely allies with three anti-heroes, a colourful and diverse cast who each struggle with their own demons and desires for redemption.
But as the shadows deepen and the threat grows, Avala and her newfound companions must set aside their differences and forge an uneasy bond. But can they confront this powerful enemy force that threatens to consume their world and change their destiny forever?

My thoughts: Meet a disparate group of protagonists, who must come together to end the darkness and save their world.
For thousands of years ago a powerful wizard sacrificed his life to protect the land of Dohva by creating a great bubble around it, leaving the countries floating as islands in the sky. Every decade lives are given to maintain this protection, but should that come to an end? People live new lives beyond death, reincarnated, struggling with their memories.
When darkness descends and the monsters arise to take over, our heroes must do all they can. Handily they have a dragon.
Adventurous, intelligent, and gripping fantasy writing, packing an awful lot into one slim book. I loved the characters who often felt conflicted and, therefore, more real, the complex nature of the world they live in, and the two very different magic systems. I’d really like a sequel looking at the impact of their actions and the changes it brings when they rejoin the world beyond Dohva.
