This was such an unexpected and awesome read! I didn't think this would be a good book, but it turned out it was great!

The world in which these people live in is different and unique. As readers we encounter a whole new different world, with different cultures, creatures and human species

There are two types of groups that govern the world. Moonburners, who rely on the Moon's rays for their magic abilities, and Sunburners, as you may have guessed, rely on the Sun's rays for their magic abilitie This was such an unexpected and awesome read!

The world in which these people live in is different and unique. As readers we encounter a whole new different world, with different cultures, creatures and human species

There are two types of groups that govern the world. Moonburners, who rely on the Moon's rays for their magic abilities, and Sunburners, as you may have guessed, rely on the Sun's rays for their magic abilities. But the burners have been enemies for hundreds of years and have been battling against each other since any of them can remember. And it is because of this hatred and prejudice that they have for one another that Kai has had to live in the shadows, hiding who she really is

Kai is a Moonburner, but she lives in a village where it is governed by the laws of the Sunburner king, and his law decrees that any female baby who is born a moonburner is to be taken and left in the desert as a sacrifice to the Sun god. But her parents defy the laws and hide her gender, pretending she is a boy for many years. And when her hair begins to change colour to silver, which is the markings of a Moonburner, they dye it.
For 17 years she has lived and acted as a boy, but her secrets are exposed and her life is in danger. But it is then that she finds herself saved by other Moonburners who help her with her magic abilities and she discovers who she is

But, she also encounters Sunburners, whose hair are blond, and mainly males, and she finds herself in their midst but she discovers that not all sunburners want to fight the moonburners. She may have found the key to finally finishing the war and establishing peace.
But it is not all easy, there are supernatural forces which she must defeat, and the place where she thinks is the safest place to be, may not be as safe or as good as she believes

I love this plot, it was so different and unique. We are introduced to complex and interesting characters. Some sweet and innocent, some stubborn and aggressive. But not everyone is who they say they are. Secrets are exploited and friends become enemies. In order to change history they must first change how they feel for one another

We are also introduced to Seishens, who are like spirit guide animals, only burners who are worthy to have one will receive them. Silver animals for moonburners and gold animals for sunburners. And Kai's seishen, Quitsu, a silver fox is the most funniest and sarcastic fox you'll ever meet! I loved his side and smart comments, but also his love and protectiveness over Kai! Loved that fox!

Overall, it was an awesome journey! Loved every second and I need to know more since that epilogue left me hanging with more questions than answers!
Definitely a must read for everyone! ...more
