A Metaphysical, visionary, fantasy, adventure:
At the first sign of dawn, the problem Meg experienced at night slipped away, and she felt safe enough to leave the building in search of food and information. The Market was Meg’s first stop each morning.
As soon as the faintest beam of light streaked through the sky from Thamon’s first sun, farmers and craftspeople would roll their carts into the Market to set up their booths and stalls. One minute the Market was empty, and the next it would be filled with multiple colorful mini-stores and booths selling almost anything the people of the Islands might want.
All of this set up took place in Etar’s pale blue light. Even though it was one of Thamon’s suns, Etar was far enough away to be not much brighter than the reflected light of the moon on Meg’s home planet Gaia. To Meg, it made the mornings on Thamon as magical as the twilight that she had loved at home.
The first booth that Meg went to every morning served her new favorite drink. It tasted like coffee, but better. Not quite as bitter, but not sweet either. Because it was made from a bean that looked like a coffee bean from back home, Meg wondered if they were related.
The young man working the booth always filled her cup to the brim and gave her at least two slices of the delicious bread that they sold there. Meg never paid, and he never noticed. If he had, he wouldn’t have minded.
Charming people into giving her what she wanted was so easy for Meg, the fun of it had faded long ago. But she didn’t have any money, and she was not prepared to work at a job, so Meg felt that charming or stealing what she needed was her only option….
Banished is the first book in a spellbinding clean fantasy series. If you like determined heroines, character-driven action, and magical intrigue, then you’ll love Beca Lewis’s gripping tale.
