As her magic powers grow, Kila draws the attention of powerful allies and even more powerful enemies.

In the ancient city of Starside, the mysterious seer known as The Hargothe has felt Kila Sigh awaken to her magical powers. He desires nothing more than to possess both her and her bonded telepathic cat, Nax.

But other forces have felt her, too. Some hoping to protect her, some wanting to kill her. As Kila and her family of thieves and cats search for the missing Finta Sahng—the only person who makes the medicine Kila’s brother needs—they stumble on a city beneath the city. When Kila faces the loss of everything she cares for, she must dig deep for the power to destroy all who stand against her.

Fans of fantasy will fall in love with the magical world of thieves and their telepathic cats. But your copy today.

Join the orphans of Starside and you might be as captivated as I am by these feral two and four legged fighters in their battle for survival." --HLP "Eric Kent Edstrom is able to weave a story that I can just get completely lost in." --Dawn, Amazon review
"Full of action, mystery, fantasy, crazy power hungry people, and danger." --Christy, Amazon review "If you love fantasy fiction, you need to journey to Starside." Craig, Amazon review

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent

This book series is outstanding. What started in Thief of Sparks (book 1 of this series) continues and gets even better. This entire series builds from the first page of book 1 through book 5 that I started earlier today. It is seldom that I find writers that look to see what other books they have written when I'm only partially done with a series. R.A. Salvatore, Jasmine Walt, Emma Adams, and now Eric Kent Edstrom. Fantastic storytelling!

So far this story is fast paced and interesting. It keeps you looking and guessing what is about to happen. The characters are interesting good, bad, or a mix of personalities keeps one wondering what’s going to happen next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transported away once again.
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017
I was so excited to continue Kila's journey and I am very happy to say that I was NOT disappointed at all. So at the end of the first book we have Kila, her brother, and some other boys bonded to the cats. I love that the cat's personalities grow along with the human characters as well. Kila starts to experiment more with the mercus and because of that draws unwanted attention upon herself and is actually pursued by different factions and captured by one as well.

Now, if you want to know more about these groups I recommend reading the book because I don't want to give to much away about what happens with the group she gets caught by. However, I will say that she does meet a young man (who she has a brief history with) and he becomes a companion of hers. They do go on a journey together where they face danger and Kila discovers just how powerful she is and the potential she has with training and focus.

When I turned the last page I was a little bit saddened. I wanted to know what's going on with her brother and if her friend is able to make his escape (not telling who or what happened :p) so there are questions that I need answered and I can't wait for the next installement. Once again I was transported into Kila's world and could visualize everything happening. I love how Eric Kent Edstrom is able to weave a story that I can just get completely lost in.

I did receive and ARC of this book and voluntarily left a review

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Blowing
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017
Just a few weeks ago I read the prequel Thief of Sparks. I loved the tale that raced up and down and under the streets of Starside. Now with the second story of mind-bonding cats, mindblown is how I feel. The world of Kila and Nax is so masterfully described, I felt the mud squish between my toes as I ran with them within the sewers. Kila has grown from being a loner and near feral child. She has friends now that will fight for her, beside her, as she is sought for the bounty on her head and the abilities of her mind.
But Kila will find she has far more powers than the ability to "see" metal and talk with her cat as she is hunted. There is also a far greater threat than the Guard trying to capture her.
E.K. Edstrom has created a world of scents and sounds, courage and depravity.
He wastes no time, as the first words from his pen evoke a reaction, and deliver foreshadowing. The raven's dream begins and ends this episode, but who is the raven? Scavenger of battlefields, raucous thief, or harbinger of doom?

Edstrom keeps things moving at a nice pace, all while closing the net on Kila. Like magic, adventure, and...uh...cats? Pick it up.
