Description
Scarlet has no idea who she is. And after spending nearly a decade in the foster system, she has never quite felt like she belonged. In fact, for the first seventeen years of her life she didn’t even know her last name. Night after night, she is plagued by a dream of a strange-looking door. Until finally, she stumbles upon that very door and is thrust into another realm, a place unlike anything she has ever seen. Now alone in the unknown world of Avalon, a land where the plants have healing powers, the birds play games, and the trees hide the most valuable secrets, Scarlet meets Morgana, the island’s enigmatic leader who unveils the truth: Scarlet is a Faye, a powerful race of people whose population was nearly decimated during the Shadow Wars. But Morgana didn’t bring Scarlet to Avalon solely to keep her safe. Unsure who to trust or what to believe, Scarlet learns that the truth isn’t always what it seems. There is a new war brewing, and when it arrives, Scarlet will make a shocking discovery about her past from the most unlikely of sources, and everything Scarlet has ever known will be thrown into question.

Featured Reviews

Band of Shadows is the perfect marriage of science fiction and fantasy. Scarlett is powerful but flawed, and makes a compelling hero, while staying away troupe-ish "Mary-Sue," know-er of all, most powerful of all stereotypes we commonly see with heroines. Not needing magic to give her strength, she pulls from within to train and ready herself for the battle ahead. Onyx, the leader of the Band of Shadows, is an interestingly gray-charater that will make you feel uncomfortable in a good way. No love triangles to be seen, and with most YA cliches left far behind, this book comes highly recommended. We can't wait for the next one in the series!!!
