Blog Tour: Wings of the Butterfly by @StephMPace


YA Fantasy
Date Published: August 15, 2014
   
Three nations teeter on the brink of war, and caught in the middle, a brother and sister find themselves surrounded by dangers they never imagined. 

Adopted by the Yurha, Toby still struggles to properly fit in.  Hunting in the forest, he stumbles across a jeweled cuff that attaches to his wrist and won’t come off.  Afraid at first, he is soon thrilled to discover the cuff carries powerful magic.  But as he tries to control it, he realizes the cuff is still linked to its original owner - an owner who will go to cruel lengths to get his magic back.

Miles away, Toby’s twin sister Ora struggles with life in a strange city.  She and family have fled Yois for Nietza, where Ora will not be arrested for possessing magic.  However, Nietza is not the magical paradise Ora had imagined.  Despite her new friends, she can’t feel safe in a country where women are little more than pawns. 

Secrets, brutal murders and war edging ever closer drive both siblings from their safe places.  Failure to stop those who pursue them will mean a fate worse than death. 





Review

S.M. Pace has managed to take Shadow of the Wolf and elevate it with Wings of the Butterfly. I feel like the story really was more involved and showed progression.

The characters are all still very compelling and well developed. I think that the fact that there are so many, can get a little convoluted at times, but overall they are all very well done. 

I truly enjoy reading about Toby's journey and where it has taken him.
