I was intrigued by the description for The Seekers by Cait Ashwood, and extremely pleased by the novel. The fantasy-magical setting is unique and the plot kept me guessing. I couldn’t predict what was going to happen and was glued to the story as it wound its way through changing alliances and betrayals until the cliffhanger ending.
To briefly summarize, Audrey feels adrift after her husband’s death. A stranger offers her a chance at adventure, an almost unbelievable one, but she has no ties and if she’s ever going to take a chance and break out of her routine, this feels like the time. The Stranger, called the Hound, is a seeker who spends his life looking for women who have the special potential to save his people from starvation. Such a calling may be just what Audrey’s been looking for, if she has the courage to take it.
The Seekers, is Book 1 of the Order of the Lily. I can’t say more, the next book is out there somewhere, I’ve got to get to it!
