Anger
About
Magic awakens, lies unravel, and the maze demands a price of blood.
The Heart Realm is a treacherous labyrinth, and Averie and Silas are caught in a desperate race: stay hidden, reach the Rebellion, and survive. Their perilous journey leads them straight into the path of a ruthless enemy whose shadow stretches across the Realm—and to Snip, an enigmatic ally of myth and legend with secrets as dangerous as his charm.
For Averie, survival means brutal, unconventional training under the relentless Callen. He doesn’t just teach her magic—he forces her to master it, to face the past she longs to forget, and embrace the terrifying power she was born to wield. Meanwhile, Silas battles to keep his own history buried, but his lies draw the attention of a dangerous old friend.
When everyone Averie loves becomes a target, she’s thrust to the front lines, where shocking truths will be revealed and every alliance tested. But in a world where betrayal lurks in every shadow, will strength and loyalty be enough to save the Realm—or will the maze claim them all?
Praise for this book
I couldn't wait to rejoin Averie and Silas on their journey into the Realm. I felt like I hadn't been away. The plot was again another intriguing and immmersive one. I was right with Averie as she struggled to find her own place in the world. Then Callen becomes her trainer, and we see her having to deal with things she would prefer not to.
I again loved returning to these characters, and before I knew it, I was reaching the end. Yet another ending that really makes you want to book three immediately!
C.R. Rice writes a young adult story that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Take my word for it!
Avi and Silas make it to the other Realm and did so with a bang! They will see some of the survivors with Thane, Callen, Radnar, and others. Avi will learn the hard way she must change and grow up to be able to do what is needed. The choices and trials will be hard on her mentally and physically. When they are attacked tragedy strikes in more ways than one. She is done doubting herself…she wants action! She wants to go on the attack! New recruits will show that have not been seen in a while. A surprise will occur at the end…what a twist it is! Will she be able to win the battle to come in the second part of the journey? At what cost to who? Another fascinating action-packed book gearing toward the final war! I absolutely love how realistic the reactions and words are for people of their ages, experiences, and maturity. The situations she puts them in and how they grow and mature into themselves. This is definitely a must read for your collections.
As a former Language Arts teacher, I have a great appreciation for Young Adult novels. The Realm Series Books 1 & 2 are excellent adventures for not only young adults but also for all readers.
The attention grabbing plot and the vivid descriptive scenes pull the reader into the tale and hold them spellbound until the cliffhanging end. It leaves the reader filled with anticipation for the next installment in the series.
I highly recommend this series.
