A
Set is a gift. A power that one can bring from within themselves and manifest
to change the physical world. Everyone has at least one, ranging from the
mundane to the all-powerful. That is, everyone except Kayla. But when her
father is murdered in front of her, Kayla is sent on a collision course with
destiny as she is forced on adventure to discover not only who killed her
father but who she is. Searching within herself, Kayla must find her own power
- even without a Set to protect her - and save not only herself, but the world
she loves.

Book Excerpts
The Set Stealer walked just far enough out of the darkness for Lord
Storm to see him. He stood there all in black, half his face hidden in
the shadows. The sole exception was his eyes; which glowed, much like his
own. But the lord of Old Storm Town knew that his eyes never held that
much hate and hunger.
“Why bother hiding behind the darkness and that flimsy disguise?” Lord
Storm sneered. “I already know who you are, BOY. You are no match
for me.”
The Set Stealer laughed at the challenge like the young ones always did.
“Ah yes, but, you see I made a recent trip to visit a queen of our mutual
acquaintance. Now that I have her sets- amongst others that I have
collected- there is no doubt in my mind that I can beat you, old man.” His
voice was sinuous in the dark.
The Set Stealer snarled at the jab of his power. They stared at
each other long, awaiting the first person to make a move. Lord Storm
wavered in his thoughts; this man had grown much more powerful than he had
thought. The queen was not so easily taken down.
“Hard for me to believe that a whelp like you could beat her,” Lord
Storm charged his set, ready to pounce. “But you’ll need more than even just
her strength to take me down. I am more powerful than you may believe.”
“You’ve become quite deaf in your dotage,” the Set Stealer chuckled.
“I told you that I’d taken quite a few more Sets besides hers. Jay
Dragon, Peter Hot Streak, Lilith Ice Crystal, James Castle, Leo Night Dance,
surely even you get the idea. All these have I taken from.” Old man
Storm kept his composure. All the names that the Set Stealer had listed were
amongst the most powerful.
Then the Set Stealer sprinted forward, shouting, “And tonight, I will
take yours!”
Lord Storm steeled himself against the oncoming fury. The moment
of reckoning had finally arrived.
Review:
This
story is about “sets” which are magical abilities. It is also about finding and saving
family. Sometimes the story loses it’s
way, but perservenance is rewarded.
I
give this story 4 out of 5 clouds.
