Description

At the whims of Gods and Men...

Isaura has emerged from the spirit realm forever altered. No longer a pariah, she embraces the future offered in Altaica, but learns that her survival has come at a price. Her transformation is the perfect weapon for Elena to use against her.

The mysterious Asena and the Lady vie for Isaura. Caught between two ancient powers, Isaura must try to make her own path.

Master spy Vikram launches a counterinsurgency against Ratilal and Faros, weaving innocents into the plot to bring him down. Ratilal prepares to wage war against Karan and Baldev. Desperately, he seeks clandestine means to wreak revenge on them in the very heart of their territory, with devastating results.

With enemies nearing, Isaura must learn to master her powers. Aid arrives from the most unlikely source--one who knows no rules and respects no one.

Having run from one war she will not run from another...

The battle is joined.

Advance Praise

"Asena Blessed is the continuation of the Young Adult fantasy novel ‘Altaica’, continuing exactly where the first book left off. I enjoy this series so much that I’ve read both books an up teeth amount of times, sending my family and friends insane over my daily praise. I only have to say this; I love fantasy books from the classic ‘Harry Potter’ to the much loved ‘Eragon’ but it has been a very long time indeed since I’ve read a book with such depth and thought paired with imagination and ingenuity. I’d highly recommend the Altaica series to anyone with a fierce love and appreciation for all that is magical, medieval, fantastical or mysterious, I think you’d find this book to be right up your alley." - Emily (via Goodreads)

"After reading Altaica I was eager and excited to start the second of the series, Asena Blessed. This novel exceeded my expectations! I was instantly engaged with the thrilling plot, which focused on themes including power, justice and conflict. Some of my favourite characters include Isuara, Gabriela and Umniga, all of whom share strong characteristics such as courage, independence and all have a unique sense humour. Asena Blessed is a book I would highly recommend, and I am excited to read the next of the series." - Elleni (via Goodreads)
