A global disaster foretold by a celestial legend. - Quickbane: Part One (Vale Chronicles #1) by Chelsea Starling

Description:

Jesobel Vine wants nothing more than to be a typical Pyxie teenager. She wants to ride her beloved horse, Firefly, shoot her bow, and fall in love with her dreamy best friend, Glyn. But Jesobel is marked not only as the future Royal Starkeeper of Pyxis, but as the Heart of Azimuth—the one to lead her people back to their lost realm—a burden too dangerous for daydreams. As Jesobel struggles to accept her destiny, reluctantly studying mystic magic, she becomes doubtful she will ever be worthy to rule. And when her fiery temper enrages the daemon-possessed Starkeeper of Equuleus with a hex-gone-wrong—igniting an orphic war—Jesobel must find a way to alter the global disaster foretold by a celestial legend.

Absolutely amazing story about a Pyxie who is faced with a life that doesn't seem to be her own. All of her decisions have already been made, and she feels like she's caught up in a tidal wave of responsibility with no chance for a happy life. Should the well-being of her people preclude her from having any kind of happiness, or is having those thoughts the epitome of selfishness?
I devoured this book in only two and a half days. The imagery is beautiful, the characters complex, and I can't wait to get my grabby hands on book 2! - Goodreads

If you are looking for a page-turner that will suck you into a land of enchanting entertainment, look no further! Quickbane is full of wonderfully imaginative characters and creatures, so vividly described, I was instantly transported to their magical, mystical world. I SO can't wait for the next book... the ending was a complete surprise and left me wanting more!! - Amazon

About the author:
Warrior, mermaid, wordsmith, performer for kings and queens, Chelsea Starling is fucking awesome. She raises bear cubs with one hand, and conjures whole worlds with the other.
