Story Raider by Lindsay A. Franklin -- Cover Reveal

10/30/2018

Coming your way April 30, 2019 from author Lindsay A. Franklin, book 2 in The Weaver Trilogy...

About the Book

Deceiving an empire is a treacherous game.
 
Tanwen and the Corsyth weavers race to collect the strands of an ancient cure that might save Gryfelle. But Tanwen has a secret—Gryfelle isn’t the only one afflicted by the weaver's curse.
 
As Queen Braith struggles to assert her rule, a new arrival throws her tenuous claim to the Tirian throne into question. Braith’s heart is turned upside down, and she’s not sure she can trust anyone—least of all herself.
 
The puppet master behind Gareth’s rise to power has designs on Tanwen and the story weavers and will stop at nothing to reclaim the throne. A plot to incite the angry peasants of Tir takes shape, and those dearest to Tanwen will be caught in the crossfire. As the fight for Tir consumes the realm, no one can remain innocent.

About the Book

Title: Fallen Leaves
Author: Tessa Emily Hall
Publisher: Illuminate YA Fiction
Release Date: October 26, 2018
Genre: YA Contemporary Fiction

Selena Taylor thought her only worry this fall was starting her junior year at a new arts school in North Carolina, miles away from home. But when she finds out her mom could graduate from rehab sooner than expected—even worse, she could work for her former nothing-but-trouble boss—Selena's determined to create a new life for them. Back in her childhood Kentucky hometown.

Step one? Track down her dad and brother that she hasn't seen in eight years. Her anxiety is put to the test, though, when she unveils a truth that could threaten her dreams. Add to that an art competition that pushes her outside of her comfort zone and a girl who seems determined to come between Selena and her hopeful boyfriend.
​
Soon Selena must decide whether or not to continue her search for her dad and brother. But is there any hope that the ruins of her broken family could be resurrected? And how could God possibly have a purpose in the midst of these changing seasons?

Tessa Emily Hall writes inspirational yet authentic books for teens to show them they’re not alone—and because she remembers the teen life like it was yesterday (or a few years ago). In addition to being a frequent contributor to both online and print publications, Tessa’s debut novel was published while still in her teens. She’s the founder and editor-in-chief of PursueMagazine.net, a Christian teen magazine, and enjoys mentoring other young writers. She’s guilty of making way too many lattes and never finishing her to-read list. Tessa’s favorite way to procrastinate is by connecting with readers on her blog, email list, social media (@tessaemilyhall), and website: http://www.tessaemilyhall.com.

Review

In book two of her Purple Moon Series, author Tessa Emily Hall brings to life a powerful and inspiring story.  Fallen Leaves is about the struggles of a young teen girl.  It’s about discovering how to handle the hardships life has thrown at you with hope and learning to lean on and trust in God.  Big themes in the story revolve around hope and the unexpected gift of meaningful relationships with family and friends.  This vibrant young adult realistic fiction story will command the attention of readers from page one as the beautiful story and easily relatable characters come to life from the pages.  Hall has a way with words that will make readers pause and think, as well as be captivated, not wanting to put the book down.  Readers of realistic young adult fiction will thoroughly enjoy this delightful novel!
