ALL BEGINNINGS COME AT A PRICE. ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY IT? Lilla must recruit the biggest and most dangerous army in the Seven Galaxies, but the Teryn emperor will not comply unless Lilla earns the blessing of the Teryn Guardian Goddess Laoise. Dealing with gods is never easy. Guardian Goddess Laoise’s condition for bestowing her blessing is for Lilla to bring her the mysterious Heart Amulet. Now Lilla is trapped in a strange place with no way out, no idea where to go or how to find the amulet. The only way for Lilla to complete her mission is to uncover the biggest secret of all Teryns. Will she survive discovering the secret of what it means to be a True Teryn? BOOK OVERVIEW True Teryn is a fast-paced fantasy novel that will have you flipping pages & saying “just one more chapter.” True Teryn is a wonderful sequel to Lilla’s story & another delightful chapter in an intriguing intergalactic saga. You truly learn much more about the Seven Galaxies’ politics, magic & lore, ancient traditions & cultural norms. In S. G. Blaise’s 1st installment (The Last Lumenian) Lilla had to accept her true destiny. Now Lilla must convince the leader of a dangerous army, who is also Lilla’s future Father-In-Law, to relinquish control of his army over to Lilla… but not without heavy resistance. Lilla’s growth as a character is even more prevalent in this science fiction book. She must convince the Teryn’s that the Arch Goddess of Eternal Light & Order needs the Teryn army to join her ranks against the Archgod of Chaos & Destruction. Additionally, Lilla must convince her adversaries that she is worthy of being Sybil to the Last Era War. Excellent character development is something you can expect in this fantasy sci-fi book. Since most of the characters are familiar due to the 1st book, Blaise further expands on her characters. Blaise is able to add complexity & detail to the characters, which helps create the authenticity of this sci-fi saga. As for the author herself, Blaise has completed her 2nd sci-fi fantasy book & her beautiful style as an author allows the magic in True Teryn to come alive. She continues to build upon her action sci-fi series with fascinating plot progression, which includes: an action-adventure quest, unlikely alliances, heavy emotions, inspiration from supporting characters & even a small amount of heart-felt alien romance. Do you need to read the 1st book in this series before reading the 2nd? This young adult book is a perfect blend of being a stand-alone sci-fi book, while also being a sequel. Blaise even added a glossary to the back of this fantasy book, which can help anyone keep up.
