Elemental Thief - Rachel Morgan

By

"Magic. Bright and brilliant and blue, it glowed in her eyes and shimmered beneath her skin.  It rushed through her blood, flickering visibly in her veins.  The same magic that existed in the elements." 


In a world where magic has been declared illegal, magic users have gone underground to survive.  Ridley Kayne lost her mother in the magical catastrophe that caused the banning of magic and her father lost his business and now they live above her grandfather's old antique shop.

Ridley desperately wants to have a good education so she works hard for a scholarship, but in her spare time, she is a thief who uses her magic to gain entrance and go about unseen. 

When she steals a figurine from Archer Davenport's family she unwittingly becomes part of a world she had not known existed.  Together, Ridley and Archer travel to the magical underworld, discover the secrets her father kept from her.  Realise that she does not know everything about her best friend and fight to protect the many innocent lives that depend on the safe return of the artefact.


The second and third titles in the series see Ridley grow in her magical ability but as the rebels close in on their goal suspicions grow and accusations are made.  Can Ridley and Archer save their world and their budding relationship?


Rachel Morgan has created a new and magical world where new adventures beckon and fantasy readers can escape to.  I would recommend this book to any lovers of Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter and the like.


The book is available from the author herself and readers in RSA can order signed copies of the book.

Be sure to read the rest of the series as well. 









I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Happy reading!!!!!

If you know the words 'Please sir may I have some more, you also know who said it and which book.  Oliver Twist, to some, is the best known of Charles Dickens' books.  Yes, A Tale of two cities and Great Expectations are also well known but did not honour being made into a Disney Animated Film or a musical. As with many books, the title character is not always the one that people end up liking.  In the case of Oliver Twist , the Artful Dodger is the character that steals the show and how appropriate for Terry Pratchett to take this lovable character and give him the Pratchett makeover. Those of us who have read the Discworld novels and novels such as Nation  know that anything is possible once Pratchett has taken a character into his world.  For some, it might be disappointing to realize that there was nothing magical in Dodger .  That is to say nothing magical as in the Discworld novels. Knowing who Dodger is and knowing the brilli...
