TRUTH

Book Two: Between Lions Series

Beschreibung

Survival comes at a steep cost...when you're being chased down a magical staircase by shape shifting mythological creatures that want to kill you. With Styx gone, Anna's only ally against the ancient powers is Cax, a charming thief she can't seem to fully trust...or trust herself with. Each spiraling step towards her ultimate destiny as The Heir leads to shocking revelations about Cax, the darkly fantastical Libraries, and the mysterious voice within herself. Author Jodi Baker's breathtakingly unique brand of storytelling weaves magical mysticism, forbidden romance, and shocking plot twists into this electrifying second installment of the Between Lions Series. Will the answers Anna is searching for get her killed, or set her free? Only TRUTH will tell. Praise for the Between Lions Series: "America's answer to Harry Potter. That's the wonder about Jodi Baker: what makes her brilliant is taking various cultures, histories, and myths then weaving them (to) form a new basket in the fantasy/sci-fi genre. Rowling may had built that fantasy path using British/Roman bricks, but Baker is constructing a new fantasy road using a mortar of Meso-American history, dusted with Norse mythology, and good ole Egyptian and Greek/Roman classics. " -The Arriviste "Loved the mysticism and magic. World building made me want to jump in the fight alongside Anna. Must-Read YA & Recommended Romance List!" -USA Today "Baker created a fantastic world in the middle of urban New York City. Full of literary nods and historical and mythological details... a treat for geeks, librarians, history and literature lovers. Great job creating strong female characters & portraying beautiful diverse characters!" -Bookworms and Owl "Exotic blend of cultures, mythology and fantasy. I couldn't stop reading."-Melanie Thompson, Librarian Media Specialist "Watch your back for Were-animals, liars, and voices in your head. A series I can't wait to get to finish." - Tina Brison, Librarian & Educator "Wow! Bibliophiles will love this book about books and the coming of age of a strong female protagonist." -Dr. K Berry, Librarian "Good writing, interesting story, action, Werejackals, gift giving voices, a girl who loves books - a fun read!" -Book Devourer Blog "Had me captivated." -Goodreads Reviewer "Mythological fantasy masterpiece. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it."-Amazon Reviewer

Autor

As a child the only punishment Jodi ever feared was not being allowed her weekly visit to the library. At boarding school, though an enthusiastic student, her late night reading fests frequently made her late for first period. Luckily, it was a high school for Performing Arts, where the classes she was good at (writing, theatre, dance & visual art) happened in the afternoon. After attending Carnegie Mellon University, she spent several months performing plays on the island of Cyprus, which was where she fell in love with mythology. When she returned to the U.S.A. Jodi lived in New York City. After a summer of working as a tour guide for the Natural History Museum, Jodi developed an addiction for wandering through all of NYC's incredible Museums - especially the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She also spent many hours sitting between the infamous library lions dreaming up the kinds of books she wanted to create. Now she happily lives in Los Angeles with two Anubis-y looking dogs in a house lined with books instead of wallpaper. Jodi Baker loves writing & reading Young Adult Urban Fantasy Mythological stories tinged with romance. In addition to her young adult series, Jodi is also working on a middle grade fiction fantasy series. The second book in the BETWEEN LIONS series will be available summer of 2017. TRUST is her first book.
