Daughter of Light: Volume 1

By Morgan L. Busse

What if with one touch you could see inside the soul?

As the Shadonae rise in the west and war threatens the north, a young woman discovers she is not human...

When Rowen Mar finds a strange mark on her hand, she is banished from her village as a witch. She covers the mark with a leather glove and seeks sanctuary in the White City. She lives in fear that if she touches another person, the power inside her will trigger again-a terrifying power that allows her to see the darkness inside the human heart...

But the mark is a summons, and those called cannot hide forever. For the salvation of her people lies within her hand.

Deeply moving

I'm not sure how to put into words a book that has moved me so deeply. It took me a little while to get into this one, but when I did, I was actually highlighting quotes in it. This is categorized as a YA fantasy book, but as I am *much* older than YA, any age would enjoy it. What strikes me most is how God sees us. Of course the Word in the story (and in the Bible) is Jesus. But He calls the characters as HE sees them; not as they are without Him. I believe that's what He does with us, too. He knows our every fault, failure, weakness, but when we're covered by His blood, He sees us in a way that only He can. It's humbling. It's surprising. It's enlightening. It's breathtaking. And I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.
