Rosefire

By: Carolyn Clare Givens

Narrated by: Carolyn Clare Givens

Asael is a kingdom in crisis. Perhaps, it is a coincidence that Anya arrived on Karan's doorstep - without a past and with great skill in magic - the same night that Crown Prince Loran died, but Karan is not certain she believes in coincidence anymore.

Rosefire is a story of friendship, redemption, and sacrifice. As Karan and Anya, along with Karan's brother Richard and friend Edmund, begin to seek the promised Rose of the Ancient Writings, they learn that the destinies of kingdoms are forged, not always in the heat of battle, but in the hearts and minds of their leaders.

Unique Fantasy!

I really enjoyed this book as a fantasy story that had elements and surprises that I don't usually find in fantasy novels! I read lots of fantasy and sometimes they kind of blend into the same story over and over. This book was unique, dealing well with magic, spirituality, love and even politics (in a fictional way that communicates truth across partisan lines.)

Excellent

Finally, a YA novel that is appropriate, emotional, exciting, and wonderful. The characters ring true and the themes of faith, mercy, and forgiveness are handled well.

A special story. Wish there were more like it.

A lovely, engaging, and special story. Looking forward to sharing it with others, and seeing what new tales the author spins into existence in the future.

A Terrific Tale

It took a few chapters to get pulled into the story but once it became clear this was a different sort of story than the usual, it pulled me in and it was a terrific tale and well worth the listen.
