Book Series Description:

From their windows, balconies, and gardens, the residents of the land of Acre stare north at the ominous black clouds that crawl across their beloved skies, overshadowing their homes. Under the clouds, a darkness has befallen the majestic City of Lynn.

Within the city, a cornered Queen, once true and just, now plays a game of cat and mouse with the races of Acre. Each season, as the Queen fights for control, the ‘Unknowns’ from the North approach. With them comes the stench of evil, fear, and death.

But… there is hope. A lost legend now awakened.

A set of dormant orbs lay in the gnarled hands of an old man. One by one, the dull orbs spark and swirl to life. Somewhere within the City of Lynn, the scroll of equals remains hidden. It’s text, supplied by the gods, awaits the chosen who may one day save the land of Acre.

Or so the legend says.

Review By LAWonder10:

In Petra and the Sewer Rats, it gives some background information and clarifies a couple of points left out of the previous Juno book.

At first the novella was really confusing to me. The was no “lead in” so it took awhile to reconnect with the characters. Once i got a few pages into the book, I was able to reconnect and enjoyed the further insight into how Juno originated and other insights into the “sewer rats”. It was very interesting, but I feel it would have been more effective if these events had been woven into Juno and the Lady, or if a book using this novella and perhaps the first part of Juno and the Lady would precede the series.

The author’s stories are very good, but in this novella, along with his other books in the series. he chops off the scenarios so it is a little confusing . It is similar to someone not completing his/her thoughts in a conversation before starting a new subject.

I offer a Three and a Half Stars rating.

This book was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review
