Sixteen-year-old Kyra, a highly-skilled potions master, is
the only one who knows her kingdom is on the verge of destruction—which means
she's the only one who can save it. Faced with no other choice, Kyra decides to
do what she does best: poison the kingdom's future ruler, who also happens to
be her former best friend.
But, for the first time ever, her poisoned dart…misses.
Now a fugitive instead of a hero, Kyra is caught in a game
of hide-and-seek with the king's army and her potioner ex-boyfriend, Hal. At
least she's not alone. She's armed with her vital potions, a too-cute pig, and
Fred, the charming adventurer she can't stop thinking about. Kyra is determined
to get herself a second chance (at murder), but will she be able to find and
defeat the princess before Hal and the army find her?
Kyra is not your typical murderer, and she's certainly no
damsel-in-distress—she's the lovable and quick-witted hero of this romantic
novel that has all the right ingredients to make teen girls swoon.

Well said, pal. I believe you're right. :)
ReplyDeleteOur books are as much a part of us as our children. In those pages are her thoughts, her words, and her dreams. It's a powerful thing to leave behind.
DeleteSo sad but her words do indeed live on. A touching post Liz.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheena-kay.
DeleteThis has been one of the most moving writing/author stories I've read in a long time!
ReplyDeleteIt is very heart breaking. One of those things that just sucks the breath from you when you hear it.
DeleteAmen - and how awesome is it to see Bridget's dream become a reality and be so positively promoted here and around the Community.
ReplyDeleteNice one, Liz.
I agree. When my brother passed on, my mom took great comfort in reading tributes to him, so hopefully all the posts will be a hug for them.
DeleteThis book, and this tour, is an amazing legacy.
ReplyDeleteGone but not forgotten. That is a special thing.
DeleteSad she never lived to see her book, but her words are immortal now.
ReplyDeleteAmen. I am a firm believer...she is immortal here and above.
DeleteSo glad she was able to leave this book for readers and her family.
ReplyDeleteIt could never replace her, but it must be some small comfort.
DeleteThat's a beautiful opening, and a true one.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Dragon hugs!
DeleteHer book is so wonderful. Great post.
ReplyDeleteIt's still on my to-read list. I wish I was a fast reader!
DeleteI always have to sigh when I see this. And you made me sigh twice. I'm really looking forward to reading her book.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely bittersweet.
