    The Ryn by Serena Chase

It’s been a long while since a story surprised me. And I confess, sometimes when you hear an author has self-published, your expectations are set low. Opening Serena’s THE RYN proved how wrong preconceived notions of new authors self-publishing can be! The story is compelling, the characters are fascinating as are the concepts and plots, and Serena has some serious writing skills. I’ve already also devoured her second novel, THE REMEDY, and I’m anxious for the next one! Do not hesitate to buy this great novel!! DESTINED by prophecy. GUARDED by deception. PURSUED by Love. Centuries ago, an oracle foretold of the young woman who would defeat E’veria’s most ancient enemy, the Cobelds. But after two centuries of relative peace, both the prophecy and the Cobelds have been relegated to lore—and only a few remain watchful for the promised Ryn. Finally, a child is born who matches the oracle’s description, but a Cobeld curse accompanies her birth. Led to believe they succeeded in killing the prophesied child, the Cobelds emerge from hiding with plans to overtake the Kingdom. But the child survived. Secreted away and called “Rose” for the first nineteen years of her life, Rynnaia E’veri has no idea of her true identity until a chance meeting with an injured knight reveals not only her parentage and true name, but the task assigned her by the oracle: discover the Remedy that will destroy the Cobelds’ power. Now, her time has come.
