Besides, I know these woods better than anyone else. Luckily, in the winter, there’s no undergrowth to hide the thieves from sight, no birdsong to muffle their footsteps. They’re why Papa doesn’t like me hunting, but we have no choice. The forest holds real danger-thieves who lie in wait, crude knives and alchemic powder on their belts, to steal time from anyone venturing outside the safety of the village.

I know better than to be afraid of stories. Even the spirit of the Alchemist himself is said to wander these woods, trapping whole eternities in a breath. M ost people find the forest frightening, believing the old tales of fairies who will freeze the time in your blood, or witches who can spill your years out over the snow with only a whisper. Now is the perfect time to read EVERLESS before its sequel, EVERMORE releases at the end of December.DEDICATION To my parents, for all the storiesĬONTENTS Dedication Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 Chapter 23 Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Chapter 26 Chapter 27 Chapter 28 Chapter 29 Chapter 30 Epilogue Acknowledgments Back Ad About the Author Books by Sara Holland Credits Copyright About the Publisher In the End I found Holland’s debut EVERLESS to be an exciting mix of myth, magic, dark-twists, and romance.Ī page-turning read perfect for fans of fantasy and world building. It seems as if everyone is hiding something and the machinations that surround the queen only bring Jules dangerously closer to the truth. Nothing is as it seems at Everless, including the visiting queen of Sempera whose arrival at Everless for a royal wedding brings even more questions and intrigue. There is a touch of forbidden romance but both brothers seem to be hiding something. Posing as a servant, Jules finds herself caught between two brothers she thought she would never see again-her childhood friend Roan Gerling and his cruel brother, Liam. I love well faceted characters, especially villains and EVERLESS is written in a way that keeps you guessing about several character’s motives. Through her first-person narration, the dark and twisted world of Everless comes alive along with the mystery surrounding it.

I loved seeing her fierce devotion to her father and her determination to uncover the secrets behind the facade the Gerling family hides behind. When 17-year-old Jules Ember discovers her father is dying she makes a decision that will change everything she knows about herself and cast her into the very heart of danger-by returning to Everless.
