From the Ashes, Spring Will Rise

On the run from the brutal Sage and his army of Legions and Cormorants, seventeen-year-old Cera Marlowe knows the only place strong enough to protect her is the Alliance Council Estate.

Cera's introduction to the Estate is far from welcoming. As a Blight, her dueling powers of light and darkness make her a half-breed threat to the Alliance's sacred powers. Cera's ability to decipher hidden messages in classical artwork buys her shelter temporarily, but the clock is ticking as she's faced with a daunting choice that could cost her everything.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Realms of Light propels The Colliding Line duology to a breathless, dazzling conclusion. What Sandra Fernandez Rhoads began in Mortal Sight is expanded, enriched, and deepened in Realms. I loved it.” — Lindsay A. Franklin, award-winning author of The Story Peddler -- Lindsay A. Franklin

“Rhoads uses the best of fantasy fiction to cleverly blend in Paradise Lost. A fast-paced story driven by intimate portrayals of characters, rich settings, and a vibrant plot that leads to a surprising yet satisfying conclusion.” — Angelica Duran, President of the Milton Society of America and Professor at Purdue University
-- Angelica Duran

“Realms of Light is a beautiful, clever ending to this duology. New friends, new enemies, and new mysteries await in this bewitching tale!” — Gabriella Graves, Disney Channel actor -- Gabriella Graves

“The dark, fantastic adventure that began in Mortal Sight yields new and surprising revelations in this thrilling sequel. Rhoads is a YA fantasy author to watch!” — R.J. Anderson, award-winning author of The Flight and the Flame Trilogy -- R.J. Anderson

“With nonstop intrigue, new characters who stole my heart, and, of course, the poetic quality of Rhoads’ storytelling, it is truly a thoughtful and heart-pounding conclusion.” — Krissi Dallas, author of the Phantom Island series -- Krissi Dallas

5.0 out of 5 stars Realms of Light
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2021

I was intrigued right from the beginning of this engaging story. It was easy to follow and had quite the adventure for readers. I like Cera and how much she wants to do the right thing. She is tempted several times and Sage was hard to read at times. I kept thinking how he painted this picture of harmony for Cera. Oh I think he may be deceiving her, but I had to hold my assumptions till the conclusion of the book.

The author uses historical art to help tell the story that I thought was interesting. I did learn more about the art pieces and that alone was inspiring to me. The concept of Cera trying to free her mother and keep her and others safe was heart pounding. There are moments that I wasn’t sure who was trustworthy.

Sage is good at taunting Cera and gets inside her head to steer her into him. I hated when he told her he knew what she really wanted. Don’t we all want to feel needed, accepted and loved? I wanted to tell her to run as fast as she could away from the trap that Sage is setting up. I couldn’t help thinking about the scripture in Romans 12:2 where it talks about renewing our mind. It is easy to fall for the trap of the enemy if we aren’t careful. I loved seeing how Cera fought Sage’s power and stood up for what was right.

The author delivers an unforgettable battle as Cera faces the power who wants to be in control of everything. The danger is fierce and Cera will make a decision that will have lingering moments of change on others. Oh how I loved the battle at the end as Sage and Cera face off against each other. It is an exceptional ending that leaves me thinking how we should never give up.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

In Realms of Light, Rhoads weaves true to life characters, nonstop suspense, and deep themes into a unique urban fantasy. Seriously, these characters will become your friends (I'm looking at you, Cole). An excellent climax to Mortal Sight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and thought-provoking!

Realms of Light is the sequel to Mortal Sight by Sandra Fernandez Rhoads. I found this YA speculative fiction duology exciting as well as thought-provoking.

My college minor was art, so I especially appreciated the historical art references in this series. Realms of Light continues with Milton’s Paradise Lost seemingly guiding the MC Cera. How the poem is used in these books is absolutely brilliant!

What I liked most about the first book was the pacing. I felt that this sequel didn’t quite have the same amazing pace as the first, BUT I believe the slower pace was purposeful—it affects the MC and what she decides to do. So it works. And once the pace picks back up, it stays pretty intense all the way to the end!

Five stars from me! I will enjoy reading both Mortal Sight and Realms of Light again someday!

I received an early ebook from the publisher to read. A review was not required. All opinions in this review are my own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great begining, weak ending
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2021

I loved the gritty believable beginning but unfortunately the story could not maintain that level and kinda slid down into typical young adult territory and never managed to climb back out. I really started out liking the mc who showed compassion for a neglected child but then as the story progressed I got more and more irritated with her lack of common sense. I realize she was only sixteen , almost seventeen but exactly how old do you have to be to realize trying to fight a monster the size of a car with a knife is probably A BAD IDEA? No matter, because the monster killed someone she cared about so we are going to fight them, hand to hand, whether we are gifted in that area or not. Even though it is established early on she has a powerful and rare gift that actually could really benefit the humans versus the monsters, well, we are going to ignore that and insist in fighting them hand to hand, because gosh darn it, that is what we want to do because the monsters killed our friend. Of course since this is a ya book we ignore all the adults who try to tell us this is a bad idea untill we nearly get everyone killed. The mc does see the light eventually but still ignores nearly all adult advice except the ones who tell her what she wants to hear. Being a ya book of course her actions turn out mostly for good even though the body count gets pretty high. On the plus side the book is well written and engaging and I enjoyed the poetry quotes from Paradise Lost sprinkled through the story. Due to that and no foul language or sex scenes I am giving it four stars. The story held my interest but I wish the author had slowed it down a bit , I needed more time to get to know the other characters and get invested in them. To me the ending felt rushed like the author was trying to wrap up in a couple of chapters what should have been another entire book. It would have worked better as a trilogy with more room to expand the story lines and slow down . So much action was crammed into the end it was a bit exhausting and at least for me , very hard to follow. I also would liked more follow up to the results of the final battle, some characters fates got glossed over with just a line or two and it felt rushed after all that buildup. On the whole a good story with some really good original ideas especially how the art and poetry was woven into the plot lines. I would definitely try this author again but just small one request - could we please just have ONE ya book where the mc actually seriously listens to sensible advice? Instead of doing the exact opposite and miraculously triumphing anyway? Thanks!

This was another excellent book. The characters came alive, and the struggle between good and evil was ever present with moral dilemmas an ever present issue.

While the conclusion to the Colliding Line series was complete, I was left wanting more. Maybe there will be another book. The possibility was certainly left open.

Something about myself is that I HARDLY EVER read a book and go straight into the second book. I am the type of person who gets bored extremely easy so I will read a few books in between a series so I don’t lose interest. So in order for me to go straight to a second book as soon as I finish the first, it has to be AMAZING! 💜❤️
This was one of those rare times when I dived right into the second book! It was so good that even when a small love triangle (which I hate) bloomed it wasn’t even enough for me to stop loving this book! Also I appreciate that the love triangle only lasted like a minute. 👏🏼👍🏼

I mean WHERE to begin? This book was just as good as the first one. Sandra did an amazing job on this intriguing mysterious and exciting story. The main character is such a real person you can relate to and all the ins and outs that represent real world reality if the spiritual world just grip your soul. I love this authors talent and I especially love this book! I was truly disappointed when it ended even tho it ended well… I just loved the story so much
