In the ocean separating the two world, the final battle will decided the future of not only Askala, but who will control the Newlands. Sam, Hawk, Luca and Mercy will have to accomplish the impossible - unity.

Review

The significant part about this series is as each book builds on the others, you feel like your part of this society. You live in askala or adventuring along with the seekers trying to establish peace with outlanders, your in for a real reading adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat as characters change sides and learn new things about themselves. This land is always on the edge of battle as their always someone who thinks they know what best better than those who have been tending the land in Askala. So those who are brave enough to stand for the betterment of the world have to be stronger than the power-hungry. I am excited to see where this goes in the next generation of Asklanias and Outlanders venture out for now in the unity of peace.

About Tamar Sloan

Tamar really struggled writing this bio, in part because it’s in third person, but mostly because she hasn’t decided whether she’s primarily a psychologist who loves writing, or a writer with a lifelong fascination with psychology.

She must have been someone pretty awesome in a previous life (past life regression indicated a Care Bear), because she gets to do both. Beginning her career as a youth worker, then a secondary school teacher, before becoming a school psychologist, Tamar helps children and teens to live and thrive despite life’s hurdles like loss, relationship difficulties, mental health issues, and trauma.

As lover of reading, inspired by books that sparked beautiful movies in her head, Tamar loves to write young adult romance. To be honest, it was probably inevitable that her knowledge and love of literature would translate into writing emotion driven stories of finding life and love beyond our comfort zones. You can find out more about Tamar’s books at www.tamarsloan.com

A lifetime consumer of knowledge, Tamar holds degrees in Applied Science, Education and Psychology. When not reading, writing or working with teens, Tamar can be found with her husband and two children enjoying country life on their small slice of the Australian bush.
The driving force for all of Tamar’s writing is sharing and connecting. In truth, connecting with others is why she writes. She loves to hear from readers and fellow writers. Find her on all the usual social media channels or her website.
