#Sponsored I thought I would share a new book with you called The Eleventh Age by Luthien T. Kennedy.

“The Eleventh Age: Prophecy Unveiled,” is a story which crafts an enchanting Coming-of-Age Epic Fantasy that seamlessly blends elements of high fantasy with contemporary magical realism. The novel opens with a modern-age saga, entwining the threads of a long-forgotten war, mythical Stones of Power, and the call to destiny for a young girl named Elli Foote.
The Eleventh Age: Prophecy Unveiled, the main character had to learn the rules of magic and consider the implications of knowing vs. not knowing the future It was hard to know who to trust which kept you wondering until the last page. If you were to ask me what genre of book this is I would say Suspense or YA although if Charlie were to read the story I think he would get confused and not finish the story and not want to read other books in the series but David would like to story and read anything the author reads.
About the book:
To some, this is the modern age saga of a long-forgotten war and the slaughter that resumed millennia later, at the opening of the twin gates— the day she was born. To others, this is the story of the magic of the five races (seven, if you count spirits and beasts) and the fight to gain control of the mythical Stones of Power— objects allegedly imbued with such monstrous forces, it’s said they once held all of humanity in a perpetual state of peace, though she found that hard to believe. To the girl she was yesterday, this was once nothing more than an incomplete fairytale her father read to her as a child. Now, she must face the improbable truth of the matter: to Fate, this is the story of her call to destiny.
But this was not the truth Elli Foote was looking for. Elves and fairies and maniacal wizards bent on her destruction? Strange dreams of the day of her birth, the stench of battle, barely escaped, still lingering like death in her nostrils sixteen years later? It was impossible, yet there she was, her life of lies unraveling before her, the spells, curses, potions, and other such imaginary sorcery that supposedly bound her under her father’s protection all these years, swiftly undone, chased away in the night by blood wraiths and seers and Nobles in black cloaks, talking of prophecy. Talking of her!
Meet the Author: Luthien T. Kennedy
A renaissance girl, Luthien T. Kennedy wears many hats, from devoted wife and mother of three, to painter, writer, and composer, from perpetual student of all religions, the myths and legends that shape us, and the human condition that often breaks us, to costume designer for high school musicals and rescuer of needy creatures everywhere—just ask all the front porch Cats.
In her work, she draws influence from Fantasy world-builders such as Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Patrick Rothfus (who needs to finish), Cornelia Funke, and J.K. Rowling as well as from Science Fiction masters like Douglas Adams and Robert A. Heinlein. She does not write small (if you are hoping for pulp) or believe in doing things halfway (her every character has flesh and bones), because she knows everyone is on a journey and sometimes the best way to understand our own path is through the pages of a good book.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates’
