    About this ebook

    We must overcome and prevail ...

    King Raemon of Medeisia is slaughtering tattooed scribes and mages, forcing them into hiding. All marked and those associated with them are destroyed. The people are desperate. Months after challenging Raemon, the marked rebels of Medeisia must rise against their bloodthirsty king or chance being annihilated.

    Sixteen year-old Drastona Consta-Mayria is the prophesied phoenix of peace, desperate to be a leader for her people despite her reservations. Following the lead of a scarred and forgotten prince, Drastona will embark on a journey with an unlikely band of rebels and a dragon across a cursed desert to bring down a king and save a kingdom.

      Tempest by Rk Ryals
      I received this book in exchange for an honest unbiased review.

      This is an amazing read. It is definitely better than the first book. I'm blown away with the new depth in characters and the emotions in this book. I felt that I was in it in the Ardus. I cried when Stone cried and my heart broke with hers. I love the new depth in Cadryn. The story is epic and like I stated with the first book rates up there with Paolini's Eragon series. The writing is superb. Now I'm dying for the next installment but it looks like I'm going to have to wait to read more of The Phoenix's adventures. I stated in the first one how I love the amazing imagination of this author and the character's that she cooks up. I can't say enough how I love the nature and animal element that is written in these novels. I will absolutely with out a doubt now go out and get the rest of her novels just to see what they are about, since I was hands down won over by her writing. This is one author I see becoming famous. I would love to see these books into movies that are directed by the lord of the rings directors!! I give this book an outstanding 5 read from me!!

      Synopsis: Drastona has lost her first love and now must wrestle with the knowledge that she is the prophesied phoenix of peace. She, along with a rag-tag band of rebels and a dragon must over-come the king and save the people. Review: Again, this is a well-written novel with multiple characters and interesting plot twists.
    • 5/5
      As much as I enjoyed the first book in this series, I enjoyed this one even more. The story continues with Stone, who is a scribe and a mage, and is able to communicate with trees and animals. Not to mention her trusted falcon that reports to her when asked. Alongside her is Kye, Lochlen and their group of rebels. They decide to leave Medeisia in hopes to speak with the King of Sadeemian for his support for a war that is inevitable, and in hopes of stopping the plan to kill a princess.

      Those still in Medeisia live in hiding and fear being prosecuted for who they are, and it is time for things to change. However, the group cannot do it alone. With that in mind, the rebels venture to Sadeemia, crossing the Ardus- the desert that separates the two nations. The biggest concern with the desert is the wyvers- distant relatives of the dragons. They are being controlled be an evil King, and their mission to take out as many of the rebels as possible, and will stop at nothing to do so.

      While in the desert, we meet Prince Cadeyrn of Sadeemia. He decides to take Stone and the rebels with him and his army back to his country. He is a strong man that shows little emotion, as he has loved and lost in the past. Cadeyrn fears very little, as he knows how strong his magic is. He is able to detect liars, and draws his strength from his sword.

      Without revealing any spoilers, you will laugh, smile, and cry while travelling this adventure with the characters. I am excited to start on book 3.

      Finding a great book out of the blue always feels a bit like a treasure hunt to me. Sometimes you come away with nothing much yet sometimes you strike gold. Then there are times you find those rare gems: a treasure which is so precious and unique even amongst all of the wondrous treasure you've discovered in the past. Tempest: Book 2 of the Scribes of Medeisia is one of those rare gems.

      This story is sometimes dark, extremely epic and very familiar yet completely unique and new in it's own way. It is a very character driven story that completely sucks you in from the very first page and holds you down in it's murky yet brilliantly lit depths until the very last page. There is a wellspring of depth in this novel and is so very well written that the pages just fly by as you are absorbed into every single moment of the characters lives and struggles.

      When we last left off in Mark of the Mage Drastona, Kye, the dragon Lochlen and their group of rebels had decided to go to war against the mad King Raemon but they soon realize they are going to need a lot more help in order to overthrow the King of Medeisia. Things grow much worse in Medeisia as it's citizens live in constant fear and persecution. Armed with the proof that Raemon intends to invade Sadeemia they make a daring and dangerous plan to try to cross the Ardus (the inhospitable desert which separates their two nations). Their courage and strength will be tested along the way, lives will be lost and the rebels who already understand the high cost of war will soon come to question whether the price for freedom is too high.

      This book is simply incredible! Not only is it even better than the first one which is a rare feat considering how good the first one was but it also takes the story into brand new uncharted waters and I for one really enjoy the direction this series is heading. We are introduced to new characters, new allies and new villains. Speaking of new characters I really liked Prince Cadeyrn's character. He brings a surprising amount of depth and emotion to this book which is already rich with both those features. I love the magic and how it seems to be tied to nature and the elements. I loved the differences between the two nations of Sadeemia and Medeisia: a difference of night and day. Where one nation suffers from an evil king, poverty and oppression the other grows prosperous under an honorable and caring ruler, it's people free and scribes along with mages are welcome and even given esteemed positions of power and respect within the society. I loved the trees and Oran - Drastona's wolf companion along with her falcon. Most importantly I love the depth and realism, how the devastating effects of war are not just glossed over and how the rebels deal with that loss and cruelty. Some become weighted down in misery, others become stronger and more determined while some like Prince Cadeyrn seem to be so very cold on the outside yet are truly hurting within.

      I cannot recommend this series and this book enough. The medieval setting is enchanting, the storyline engrossing and the main characters are all people I feel like I know as if they are all old friends. No matter what you favorite genre is, I feel this series has something that is sure to please everyone. It speaks to the mind and the heart in a very distinct voice. A voice I am very glad I got the opportunity to hear and has assured R.K. Ryals a spot of honor amongst my favorite authors. I plan to read any and every book she currently has out as well as any she may publish in the future. She's that good!
