A New Duality

by Alma M. Vasquez

The declining elven empire has no humans or hope of survival…until she arrives. Belrina is a young healer among the Forest People, oblivious to the existence of elves and their magic, until she is called to help one who is dying. Then, one selfless act leads her to the elven empire, where no human has tread. In this magical realm, illusions and inventions astonish her eye, but beneath the splendor she finds a wasteland controlled by self-serving elite. When her magic ability awakens, revealing her unique lineage, a renown seer proclaims Belrina is the key to the empire’s salvation—if she can first protect herself from its foremost senator, who ruthlessly seeks to bend all to his will. To oppose this ancient titan, and his threats to both elven and human civilizations, Belrina will need to discover and then unleash all her powers. A New Duality is the first book in Songs of Power , an epic fantasy trilogy. If you like diverse characters, strong romantic elements, and spectacular feats of magic, click the buy button now!

An interesting beginning of a fantasy series!

We have Belrina, a healer, one of the Forest People. Her mother was also a healer and taught Belrina everything she knows. Sadly, her mother died two years ago and Belrina has been on her own since then. On this particular day, someone knocks on Belrina’s door requesting her help. What she finds is an elf, with a broken leg and a very high fever. This is a very enjoyable fantasy with twists and turns that I cannot wait to find out where they lead. The plot is interesting, and the story is well written.
