In the enchanted world of Aeolia, fifteen-year-old Esme Silver is faced with her hardest task yet. She must master her unruly Gift – the power to observe the past – and uncover the secrets she needs to save her mother, Ariane.
In between attending school in the beguiling canal city of Esperance, Esme and her friends – old and new – travel far and wide across Aeolia, gathering the ingredients for a potent magical elixir.
Their journey takes them to volcanic isles, sunken ruins and snowy eyries, spectacular places fraught with danger, where they must confront their deepest fears and find hope in the darkest of places.
Esme’s Gift, the second instalment in the Esme trilogy, is an enthralling fantasy adventure for readers 12 years and over.
Jan’s Review
I love the cover on this one, i mean it a dragon who doesn’t want to read a story with a dragon on the cover. It was a joy to return to Aeolia and adventure with Esme as she not only develops her gift but goes on a hunt to cure her mother’s sickness.
I really loved the expanse of the world, we learn more about the gifts, we see Esme really come into her own gift, we see her develop friendships and of course dragons as well. The ending really tugged at my heart strings and at times i wanted to throttle her farther. I eager to see if their more story or if this is it but i hope it not.
