Andie has just lost her beloved Nan, and the last thing she wants to do is leave her home and go somewhere where she doesn’t know anything or anyone. Unfortunately, Child Services has other ideas. Andie is given into the company of a woman named Celeste, an old friend of her Nan’s that she had never heard of until now. Although Andie doesn’t want to like her new town, she finds that people are warm and welcoming, if a bit strange. But when Andie goes wandering into the forest one night, she realizes all is not what it seems when she meets two creatures who should only exist in fairytales. And she herself is not who she thought she was. Andie is half Fae, half Witch, and she has an enormous destiny that she’s not sure she can fulfill. Along with her two new bodyguards, the charming Warlock Teagan and brooding Shifter Hunter, Andie sets off on a journey to reclaim something that could save the entirety of this secret world she has discovered.

I really loved this story! Sword of Light is the first of a YA fantasy series. The world building was exquisite, and each character had depth and promise. I loved meeting the different kinds of Fae throughout the book, the descriptions were top notch. I definitely recommend this book, and am happy to have discovered J.C. Lucas as an author.

I received a free copy of this book from the author, and am voluntarily leaving a review.
