She'll be a flash of red in a world of grey Kyri Dekote is just your average commoner class sixteen year old girl, except for one thing. She was born with magic, an outlawed substance punishable by death in her home kingdom of Althea. One night she sneaks out of her kingdom in search of a magical substance that might very well save her family's business only to nearly becoming prey of the vicious magical beasts of the forest herself if it hadn't been for the timely intervention of a handsome stranger.

She soon finds out that evil is not confined to the beasts that wander the forest, it's at the heart of the very kingdom itself.

Change. That's where it all started. The murders. The candidacy. The love. The loss. The war. Had Fane just not wanted what he couldn’t have, none of it would’ve happened. The buck would’ve been passed to some other forsaken person.But no. She had to pick him—the righteous one. A noble soul to corrupt—a real challenge. There was more of a thrill that way.She started with his father—the man that threw a wrench in her plans from the get go. Next, his lively hood. Last—turning his pathetic reality on its head before the Japanese dropped their world changing torpedoes in December of ’41.Once Fane got to Sàrin, he’d be alright. It would take a little bit before the wheels started turning, but once he found his second half, he’d shape up to be what she needed.Then, mix in the other four. Throw gas on whatever racial-fire burning in their hearts. But not too much. They needed to work together. Only after they properly razed the Empire—and given the little candidates a run for their money—would she allow them to tear each other apart.Then, and only then, would the Fallen triumph, and the Sage be reborn. A new dawn would rise over the charred Sàrin pains. And whether he knew it or not, Fane would help her make it so.Dawn is a fantasy like none other on the market today—I know because I have checked. It breathes new life into the genre and the coming of age motif. It mixes historical fiction, mystery and fantasy to not only tell the life of a growing adolescent into adulthood, but to break the cookie-cutter YA genres of today. Overall, the book is tailored toward a high school/college age audience going through the same existential crisis as my characters—how do I make something of myself? Where do I go from here? And how can I change to become a better form of myself?

Magical realism and gritty mystery meet in Brooks's provocative dissection of family, friendship, and faith. "A tense psychological thriller...hard-hitting."--Publishers WeeklyDawn Bundy lives in a cave. In her head. Where's she's been hiding for two years. Hiding behind headphones. From the two hottest girls at school, in their impossibly short skirts and unbearably tight tops, their skin close enough to touch. Not talking to her mother, not about what matters. Not thinking of her dad, the drug addict, the ex-con, born-again but far gone. Two years is a long time. Enough for the cave to grow so small that her breath feels like stone in her throat. Two years is no time at all. Nowhere near enough to forget. To pretend that nothing happened. Deep one perfect morning.
