The Continent (The Continent, #1)

by Keira Drake

From a land without war to a continent of two warring nations. One girl crash landing becomes a fight to survive.

For her sixteenth birthday, Vaela Sun receives the most coveted gift in all the Spire-a trip to the Continent. It's an unlikely destination for a holiday: a cold, desolate land perpetually plagued by combat.
For Vaela the journey is a dream come true: an opportunity to improve upon the maps she's drawn of this vast, frozen land. But her dream quickly becomes a nightmare when a tragic accident leaves her stranded on the Continent. Now Vaela finds herself starving, alone and lost in the middle of a war zone.

Vaela must try to find a way home-but first, she must survive.

Their no cover available yet for this book because it not out tell January 2017. This book wow i was not expecting what i got with this book. You have a great fantastic character in Valea Sun who totally becomes someone i did not expect. From the first pages i like oh joy we got some ridiculous rich kid who gets everything she wants and has no idea how the world really works.

Then she gets what she always wanted a trip to see the famous continent which is the home of two warring tribes who choose not to join the peaceful world of the spire. Valea tours the continent with her family and finds love or at least what she feels is going to be love until all hell breaks loose. She is roughly shoved into finding out just how the world really works, she learns that not all of what she known is true. Valea has to learn how to do all the things that she been privileged not to know anything about. By the end of this wonderful novel you question how much peace and war can really cost. You learn to see these savages through valea eyes and you might just take a second look at how our world works. It one very thought provoking story.
