The Story
Throne of Glass meets Fourth Wing in the YA-NA crossover series.
Seventeen-year-old Maslyn Nirtav always knew she’d attend the prestigious Mulik. There’s no other purpose for her superior magic than to save Siela from the wretched Suerza. Maslyn doesn’t care the demons haven’t been seen in generations. Her father’s stories suggest they’ll be back. When they arrive, they’ll find her waiting.
Of course, her plan doesn’t involve losing her magic days before her first class. Nor did she consider that her best friend would be halfway across the empire, training for his own role in her imagined war. Alone in a new city without her power, Maslyn will find demons from across the sea aren’t as scary as classmates who think she’s a fraud.
Despite friends being hard to come by, Maslyn continues to ignore the prince whose violent past is too much for her to deal with. Not to mention, hIs too-curious observations might bring up questions she can’t answer about her home and training.
Not even his attention can distract her from her real terror: the masked kidnapper who almost got her will find her. No longer the most powerful Blood in Siela, there’s no way Maslyn will escape him again. With more Bloods going missing every day, she knows it’s only a matter of time. Not even the walls of Mulik will stop him when he finds her.
Will Maslyn come to terms with her weaker power before the Wraith finds her, or worse—before she gets expelled?
“The intelligent prose and age bracket sets this squarely in the new adult fantasy genre with some of my favorite elements of both YA and traditional fantasy. Unlike many YA fantasies, Maslyn fortunately lacks Mary Sue characterization. She genuinely struggles and makes some questionable decisions, which made her more real and caused me to want her to succeed all the more. I cant wait to see what happens next and how she deals with it.”
“Such a good slow burn of mystery, thrill and emotions. This world is so intriguing with hidden layers.”
“Martens's ability to craft thought-provoking moments is evident throughout, and the quote "You will survive this. You will learn your purpose" resonated deeply with me. I really enjoyed the journey this book took me on. "In the Fade" is a must-read for fans of magical adventures and I’m excited for the next book in the series.”
“C.M. Martens’ design of a young main character who bravely pushes forward to find her place in an unfamiliar setting after undergoing a traumatizing moment is thoughtful. Equally, the protagonist endeavors to turn fearful emotions into motivations for a much-needed self-discovery. In addition, restoration of shattered aptitudes is a worthy stimulant to hundreds of YA fantasy enthusiasts who may find themselves isolated and feeling inadequate in the face of severe and intense concerns. Numerous adrenalizing moments in the text will throw readers into a fantasy world with very many hidden layers, that create unforgettable and awe-inspiring memories…”
