Friday Memes: Taste of Darkness by Maria V. Snyder

Happy Friday everybody!

Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

This week I am spotlighting Taste of Darkness by Maria V. Snyder. I got the eARC of the third book in the Healer series from NetGalley. Here is the description:

She's fought death and won. But how can she fight her fears? 

Avry knows hardship and trouble. She fought the plague and survived. She took on King Tohon and defeated him. But now her heart-mate, Kerrick, is missing, and Avry fears he's gone forever. 

But there's a more immediate theat. The Skeleton King plots to claim the Fifteen Realms for his own. With armies in disarray and the dead not staying down, Avry's healing powers are needed now more than ever. 

Torn between love and loyalty, Avry must choose her path carefully. For the future of her world depends on her decision….

Beginning:

Cold air caressed my back. I rolled over, muttering at Kerrick for hogging the blanket, but stopped. Something felt...odd, wrong, missing.

Friday 56:

"As you go deeper, the spacing of the lanterns is wider, and the ones we haven't explored are dark."
