Spotlight on The Wych of Lepyr Cove




Today my lamp light is shining on The Wych of Lepyr Cove by Deborah Bogen.

Blurb
 The year is 1224 A.D.
Pope Honorius has just launched the Inquisition and sent the Domincan Order, those Hounds of God, out into the Christendom to root out heresy.

In the quiet English village of Aldinoch, sixteen-year-old Lyllie and her fourteen-year-old twin brothers have finally adjusted to new lives. Orphaned two years earlier, the siblings were placed in three separate home, Lyllie with Alys, the village healer, Wyllym with a wool fuller and Edric with the Holy Mother Church where he is training to become a monk. Finally accepting their parents' deaths and their separation, the young people are making new lives, sure that nothing more can threaten them.

Abbot Godfrey is an ambitious priest willing to fake a "miracle" to advance his own career. Fearing that Alys, Lyllie's guardian, has discovered his deception, Godfrey accuses her of wychcraft and summons the Inquisition, hoping she'll be tried and imprisoned. Lyllie and her brothers realize they must lead the fight to try and save her, but can the three young people find the strength in themselves and trust in each other to confront this new challenge?

 
Author info :
Deborah Bogen is a poet and a novelist.  She thinks good Young Adult novels are a pleasure for eleven year olds and eighty year olds and all the ages in between. She also thinks teenagers are smart and truly interested in the world and its history.  Learning about that history, she thinks, is most fun when it's told as an exciting story - events that, although fictional, no doubt did occur in the life of someone.

Kai's Journey


Today I'm showcasing Kai's Journey.

Blurb
Kai's Journey is a story about a young man, set seven years in the future. Kai has spent those years fighting for survival and trying to find a way rid the world of the disease his father created... His father was a military scientist charged with the task of perfecting a formula that would create a superior breed of soldiers. His father accidentally created a race of zombies. Like a virus, it soon spreads to the entire world, unleashing a period of unsurpassed chaos and conflict. In the midst of this turmoil, our young man comes across a young woman named Clover, who is part of a clan traveling across the United States to try to find what is left of humanity. Clover is a part of a clan of werewolves who can turn at will but aren't blood thirsty savages as depicted in general history. . Along the way they come across stragglers who join with the group as they journey across the upper part of what used to be known as North America. One night while Kai and Clover were watching a meteor shower they meet a group totally out of this world. Kai and Clover begin a heroic journey, fuelled by the increasingly dim hope that somehow, the human race will have a chance to start over.
