BLURB:
Foster kid and
occasional shoplifter Eowlyn Patience just wants to fit into her Boston high
school. When the Sword In The Stone falls out of the sky like a meteor into the
middle of London’s Trafalgar Square, everything changes. Then, an enigmatic
golden-eyed man arranges for her to attend a school for the gifted in England,
and the irritatingly perfect Matt Emrys from science class turns out to be
Merlin—the Merlin, King Arthur’s greatest wizard.
Frozen in a cave for
fifteen hundred years, Merlin has woken to find the next Arthur. Eowlyn
Patience’s mysterious admittance to Avalon Preparatory was not something he
foresaw…a disturbing aberration when his most powerful gift happens to be
visions of the future.
The race to find the
rightful heir rages between deadly gargoyles, wizards, and Regulars, but
figuring out the troubled Eowlyn might be by-the-book Merlin’s hardest job yet.
She’s altogether the wrong girl. Torn between what is right and what saves
lives, will Eowlyn do what it takes to win—even if it means sacrificing Merlin
to a god?
EXCERPT:
A gorgeous underwear-model of a man in a black suit cleaned
his sword with a tissue. He threw the bloodied rag on top of the half-man,
half-beast. I tensed as he reached inside his coat pocket, but he only took out
a clipboard and black sunglasses. He put the sunglasses on. “Eowlyn Patience?”
A little dumbstruck, I nodded at the beautiful killer with
blood on his face.
“Pretty name.” He smiled wistfully. “I once knew an Eowlyn.”
The comment knocked me out of my trance. “No one has ever
heard of the name Eowlyn.”
He shrugged. “Surprise. Now, you have met me.”
I put my hands on my hips. “What do you want?”
He gave me an amused smile. “I will be your driver today.
Don’t forget to grab your bags. We should leave now before you have any more
visitors.”
I pointed to the corpse on the floor. “I am not going
anywhere with you, serial killer.”
“Is that so? Let me be clear—I just saved your life. More
hunters will be coming.” Black-Suit tucked a pencil behind his ear and the
clipboard under his elbow. He stepped to the side and pointed at an idling
black luxury sedan. “I’ll be waiting in the car. For when you change your
mind.”

REVIEW
Eowlyn a foster kids who has learned to look out for herself soon finds herself in a world of magic, mystery and even wizards. When the infamous "sword" reappears in the square everyone shows up to be the special one to pull it out.
However, Gargoyles also want to gain control of the sword to rule and ruin the world. Eowlyn attends a special training academy along with others like her to train to learn how to free the sword and save the world from the evil Gargoyles.
Let me first say I absolutely fell in love with this story. It is modern take and spin on a classic story. It held so many fantastic characters. Eowlyn was of course my favorite. She is spirited, fun, and eager to learn. The story was full of excitement, mystery, with secrets lurking between people. Each page was explosive and enjoyable. I look forward to reading more from the author. Excellent story~
