Keira Serasul is a shape shifting Sentry, pledged to serve the Nixans for life. Her best friend Cassatia’s life is threatened by her own domineering father, who just happens to rule the province. Keira is given the outrageous task of infiltrating the headquarters of her people’s enemy, stealing a magic sword, travelling back across the country and returning it to the castle to be destroyed so as to prevent an irreversible curse… all within two weeks! Fortunately, Keira has trained for this. She is a skilled fighter, a loyal citizen, and a determined friend. She will stop at nothing to save Cassatia.
The world of the Nixans and Wardens is superimposed over our own. Locations like Boston and Svalbard are dropped in between Austfonna Castle in Europe and New Fauske in Idaho. I felt enchanted reading the exciting battles between fire and ice in my own home country. The young heroine is courageous and tough; a product of her less than nurturing upbringing. She is fierce and admirably loyal. And just the right amount of sassy.
Lyssa Morasey has written a roller coaster thrill ride of a novel with fast paced twists and turns. The Sentry will surely leave you clamoring for more!
