A Story Seeped in Fantasy
Ruby Awoken is set in a fictional world mainly inspired by the fantasy works of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, though there are so many great writers who have contributed to the fantasy genre we all know and love that we can’t name them all. The main character, Ruby, is a Dwarven maiden who befriends Humans, Elves, and Halflings on an epic journey she never intended to take. You will feel as if you’re playing through the perfect D&D campaign while reading Ruby Awoken. Leave your normal expectations and assumptions at the door because you have not read a book with this premise and painted mind pictures much at all, if ever.
A World of Action and Empathy
Ruby starts her adventure extremely naïve and untested. As she meets new races and communities, she allows kindness to color her perception of others rather than any pre-conceived notions. When she is faced with enemies, Ruby is quick to defend her friends and the innocent. Conflict is not always evil and passivity is not always good. Ruby’s journey teaches her when to fight and when to walk away.
Ruby Awoken
What is a female Dwarf really like? Is she truly a stout, bearded woman, or might that just be the mythos started by the clans in order to protect their most valued treasure? Join a newly awoken Dwarven energy weaver, Ruby, as she undertakes the journey of a lifetime through the land of Heathstone. With her ever-present Dwarf Guide, Cragdor, Ruby will come to accept her calling and gifting. Along with the beautiful Halfling, Marigold, the tenacious Human, Faylin, and the ethereal Elf, Liras, Ruby will come to understand that friendship comes in all shapes and sizes. With the Fallen Elf king nipping at her heels, will Ruby choose to fulfill the prophesy that was meant for her, or will she try to run from her destiny?
Customer Reviews
I loved reading this book. The author does demonstrate creativity in her story telling which peaked my level of reading enjoyment. One specific thing I found interesting was the author’s use of dwarves and even more importantly the use of a female dwarf as a heroine. I can easily recommend this book, even if now, I must wait to continue reading about Ruby’s adventures. I am looking forward to future books in The Energy Weaver Series!
I enjoyed this book immensely. The characters come alive and you feel like your with them. I'm looking forward to her next book. Great for any age teen to retired. Go Ruby!
Once the adventure begins you will not be able to put this book down!!! The creativity and depth of thought on wings is incredible....I'm sure you're thinking what about wings?? Grab the book and read it to find out! Anxiously awaiting the next in this what appears to be a series. Not only would I like to be Ruby...but so many other characters I can identify and would love to spend a day in their shoes or boots!
