Comet Rising by MarcyKate Connolly

The wicked Lady that steals magic wants more.  All the talented children are hidden away but she has plans.  She'll make the comet come early and she'll question the historians of the group who knows where they are hid.  The worst part is that she makes the parents forget what's happened and pretends the children have won a scholarship to a marvelous school.  No, she just takes them home, changes them into flowers and uses their magic when she needs it...

Sourcebooks Jabberwocky and Edelweiss let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published January 1st.

Emmaline and Lucas think they're safe at the moment but when Emmaline's shadow warns her of danger she doesn't believe her.  She's been trying to get out of the cage they imprisoned her in and she'll lie to do it.  Unfortunately, this time she was telling the truth.

When the soldiers come again, they run.  They also take the paperwork that will show them where other talented children are located.  But the Lady is ahead of them, stealing the children away.  Part of her garden is dying and she needs more magic.  However, the free children are banding together to save siblings and parents from the damage she's done.

This series is filled with magic and desperation and keeps you riveted to the pages until you see how it ends.  It's thrilling, exciting, and fun to read.  Share it with someone who likes fantasy.  They'll enjoy it!
