Book Synopsis
Truth is more dangerous than fiction…in this exhilarating upper YA fantasy that will capture fans of Shadow and Bone and Dark Water Daughter
In ancient times, the Elder Wrights breathed their magic into the fabric of the seven seas. Now what was once an ocean of plenty is slowly becoming a sea of death, and the Talin—a race of hidden mages—are beginning to starve.
And for the first time ever, one of their own has no magic.
Ostracized by her own people, Nieve is certain that the old stories hide a missing piece of the puzzle. It’s just a matter of unlocking the secret.
But when a stranger comes sailing into their harbor, Nieve’s world is suddenly blown wide open. Now she’s sailing on the seven seas—with a too-charming, swashbuckling pirate, a group of strange misfits, and a woman who claims to be one of the Elder Wrights.
It’s like Nieve is living one of the stories she’s always loved…only now, she’s weaving a legend of her own.
Except that the old tales don’t mention those journeys that end in tragedy, a king’s calculated interference, or a world poised on the tides of death.
And they certainly don’t mention mutineers with a talent for stealing a girl’s heart…and lying all the while.

My Review
Starling's Weave is a young adult fantasy. It's told from Nieve and Keir's points of view. Nieve is eighteen. Keir is a twenty-two-year-old pirate captain. The story has elemental magic and a slow-burn romance. Powerful mages also play a big role in the novel.
Nieve was born without magic, unlike the rest of her people and they treat her badly because of this. She wants to know why magic is disappearing. The Elder Wright Mages used to fill the world with magic. Now, her world is dying. Captain Mansaray offers her a ride on his ship. He's handsome and so intriguing! This is where their romance begins. It seems destined that they would meet.
The story gains speed halfway through. You should expect conflict, battles, and fire, plenty of fire. You'll find adventure in a uniquely built world. Nieve and Keir both grow on their journeys of self-discovery. This clean romance is a perfect fit for teens new to fantasy. The ending hints at a sequel that Starling's Weave fans will eagerly await.
