She Who Rides the Storm

The Gods-Touched Duology, Book 1

By: Caitlin Sangster

Narrated by: Kristin James

In this atmospheric YA fantasy that is Wicked Saints meets There Will Come a Darkness, four teens are drawn into a high-stakes heist in the perilous tomb of an ancient shapeshifter king.

Long ago, shapeshifting monsters ruled the Commonwealth using blasphemous magic that fed on the souls of their subjects. Now, hundreds of years later, a new tomb has been uncovered, and despite the legends that disturbing a shapeshifter's final resting place will wake them once again, the Warlord is determined to dig it up. But it isn't just the Warlord who means to brave the traps and pitfalls guarding the crypt.

A healer obsessed with tracking down the man who murdered her twin brother.

A runaway member of the Warlord's Devoted order, haunted by his sister's ghost.

A snotty archaeologist bent on finding the cure to his magical wasting disease.

A girl desperate to escape the cloistered life she didn't choose.

All four are out to steal the same cursed sword rumored to be at the very bottom of the tomb. But of course, some treasures should never see the light of day, and some secrets are best left buried . . .

Amazing book

This book is absolutely fantastic. It has everything; great characters, great plot, great world. 10/10
Also don’t hesitate to read it because it is YA, the characters are teens but they are great and there is no stupid teen drama.

Amazing and here is why...

Okay! Overhyped books on tiktok cannot be trusted. But this indie authors book is worth your time!
*
Are you sick of love triangles and books mostly about romance? Or lazy writing lack of world building. Lack of Relatable characters. Maybe I'm a odd one out but I am sick of all the above and this story doesn't lack or disappoint.
*
I love the multiple pov and the magic system here. Love how religion can be MORE than what your taught to believe. Love how the twists and turns make you question everything!
*
Also has unicorns as the loyal/terrifying steeds! Isn't that a blast?!
*
I cannot say enough about this book but it's beyond amazing!
