đź“–Recommended for Grades 7 and upđź“–
by Sara Holland
In the land of Sempera time is currency. Hours, days, and even years are extracted from one’s blood as giving payment and turned into coins for those receiving payment to ingest. Desperate to earn more time, Jules Ember returns to the Everless where she and her father were once servants, in order to help prepare for the royal wedding. Jules’ father isn’t happy about her plan to return to their former home, having taken a risk in leaving to begin with. The more time she spends in Everless, the more danger Jules discovers exists there; danger she has found herself a part of.
Fantasy fans should not miss this first book in a planned series. The story may feel like a slow start but picks up soon after Jules arrives in Everless. Readers will enjoy the world Sara Holland has created and all the twists and turns.
