By Beady Vries

Cursed Queen Doria must kill all rightful heirs, and Adaline is first in line to die...

Adaline's house heaves with secrets, and when her closest friend Violet is mistaken for her and abducted, she discovers a portal to another world in her cellar. In Bodhiasphere, the warlock has lost control, dragons await the return of their masters, and immortal forevermores remain slaves to a corrupt queen who is cursed by the undertakers of the Sphere. Adaline must learn to use her wings and wit wisely to reverse the fortunes of the realm, but Violet's execution imminent, she must seek alliances quickly and avoid detection at all costs... can Adaline save her friend and a realm her family once ruled?

The Crystal and the Curse is the first epic novel in The Sphere Chronicles series, a magic sword and sorcery fantasy series with a strong teenage vegan female main character, set with one foot in the fantasy world, and one in the urban world. An enchanting blend of magical fantasy characters and mythical beasts for young adult, tween and advanced middle-grade readers with challenging text and mysterious sub plots, a hint of romance and an allegory that highlights the plight of animals in factory farming. For those searching for clean teen, friends to lovers, coming of age and young adult dystopian fantasy books, this book will leave you wanting to explore the world of Bodhiasphere - rich with many species who have many stories to tell...

Look out for the next in the series - The Omen of the Strix.
