Interestingly enough, in today’s Masquerade Book Tours review, the author is a teenager weaving together complex situations together for other teenagers to read. It’s almost a love letter to the Pacific Northwest as well. The author captivates her audience by weaving together the ancient world of 500 BC with present day youths. I couldn’t stop reading, and I cannot wait for the next book in this series to come out. If you enjoyed books like The Hunger Games, you’ll enjoy Aegis Rising.

Synopsis

Over a remote northern forest, a small plane carrying five teenage friends flies into a freak storm. Struck by lightning, the aircraft crashes and the passengers find themselves cast into a life-changing adventure.

In a hidden valley, a mysterious people gaze at the stormy sky as a glowing object with fiery wings disappears behind a mountain ridge. The astonishing sight reignites an ancient prophecy foretelling the arrival of five chosen ones destined to become bearers of light against a dark storm gathering on humanity’s horizon.

In a distant city, a secretive organization led by a shadowy figure initiates a sequence of cataclysmic events designed to wreak havoc across the planet, beginning with a remote mining site in northern Canada.

As the three worlds collide, unlikely heroes arise. Armed with powers entrusted to them by the ancient prophecy and the resilience of their life-long bond, the five teens take a stand against a malevolent foe.

  1. Dear Ronda,

    Thank you for posting your review of Aegis Rising. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the read. I am always encouraged when readers share their thoughts about the novel with others. It is especially rewarding coming from a blogger and writer of your caliber.

    I am currently working on Aegis Incursion, book two of the Aegis League Series. It is due for release at the end of November/December this year. I’d be more than happy to send you a copy for review, if you like, before the official launch. I would love to hear your thoughts on it 🙂

    Here is the synopsis:

    On a bright July morning in 1948, a B-29 Superfortress flying a top secret research mission over the skies of Nevada crashes into the mirrorlike waters of Lake Mead and sinks into its depths, remaining lost for half a century.

    Autumn, 2015 – Five friends who had vanished for several weeks after their small plane crashed in a remote forest in Northern Canada mysteriously reappear in a small town in Yukon with no recollection of what had happened to them.

    Summer, 2016 – A baffling contagion spreads across the bread-basket of North America. Widespread famine and riots ensue as this dark shadow marches across the planet, forcing desperate nations to the verge of war.

    As these events converge, a prophesied battle ignites. From expansive crop fields in the Great Plains to nefarious laboratories across the United States, intrepid defenders known as the Aegis League race against time to save the world, even as their foe continues to unleash a cataclysmic scheme upon the planet.

    I hope your readers who decide to pick up Aegis Rising will enjoy the read as well.

    Once again, thank you for your review 🙂

    Cheers,
    Shirin
