Shadow's Apprentice
All Mac wants is a residency so she can become a master healer, be with her friends, and help the injured.
Macayla, an apprentice healer, is cutting corners, to keep her master’s nook afloat in his absence. She hopes her blood, sweat, and tears will impress her master enough to earn a residency. Except it’s hard to impress a master who constantly travels for a local warlord, a bossy handsome man Macayla avoids like a bad case of raw prickly rash that won't heal. One hasty decision will change this talented apprentice's life forever. Shadow’s Apprentice is the first book in a gripping series called the Namyria Chronicles. You’ll love this clean slow-burn fantasy romance with its folklore, fairy tale, and mythological creatures that will keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next. PRAISE FOR SHADOW'S APPRENTICE
"Refreshingly light, Shadow’s Apprentice by Marta Robyne is a cliched but fun story that takes place in an entrancing fairy-tale world." -Indies Today
"Shadow's Apprentice is a perfect example of what the first installment in a fantasy series should well-plotted and inhabited by characters that jump right out of the pages." -Reader's Favorite

Please note--I spent most of my time writing so I rarely if ever check my Goodreads email. Please use my contact info on my website.
As for me, I love good stories and I love to read. That love of reading a gripping story has never diminished. I still can't put down a good book to go to bed at a decent hour.
Happy reading!
B/R- Marta

I received an ARC copy of this book and this is my unbiased opinion on Marta's "Shadow's Apprentice"
Not a lot of fantasy novels impress me but I like this book. It's not the best fantasy novel I've read, but I can see myself watching a movie based off this novel. It has an amazing cast of characters, great world building, and the main character has great chemistry with humans and animals involved. The main character was also witty/charming and therefore, I enjoyed a few laughs here and there. If you like quirky female leads, charming characters (and animals), magic, and a dash of romance, this story is for you!

Dark forces, a spunky healer who lacks self-confidence, and a mysterious pup who's not who he seems come together to create an intriguing epic fantasy adventure.
The world-building sucked me in, and Macayla was an easy heroine to root for. I especially loved Shadow, who was always getting into mischief and surprising me throughout the story.
I'd definitely read the next book in this series.
