Ayra of Darkwater Quarry

By Jill Turner Claybrook

An orphaned girl with untapped power struggling to feel her own strength.

Born in the rock and dust of Darkwater Quarry, Ayra is resigned to a life in the debtor camp like the generations before her. But when the charming Prince Gibsen arrives offering to escort her and her younger brother to a wealthy relative in the northern country of Tiseden, Ayra gets a chance to see what had only existed in her dreams.

Trading the saftey of Darkwater for the unknown, Ayra embarks on a journey that reveals things on the outside are not always what they seem. Thrust into the sole companionship of a rogue soldier, she seeks to uncover her family's secret-a secret that will either save the country she struggles to belong in or make her a pawn in the hands of a man who would destroy it.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ Ayra of Darkwater Quarry is a solid book for young adults and as an older adult I enjoyed it too

★★★★★ I personally enjoyed the hint of love interests...speckled among the adventure along with the fantasy of this world.
