This was my very first Owl Crate book and it was also the July Barnes & Noble YA bookclub book so I let my son read it first. He really liked it and so did I and we are both anxious for book 2.
We Hunt the Flame is a story of adventure, love, friendship, betrayal, and magic set in an Arabia type place. There is a forest that has grown up around this world and separated the caliphates and has caused magic to have vanished from the people. There are stories about the death of magic and the Six Sisters who were the guardians. A hunter who is really a huntress in disguise is the only person feeding her people in a place where women are considered the blame for all things bad so she hides. A prince who is used as an agent of death by his father the ruler. A general with a wicked sense of humor who is more than he seems. An immortal and vain man. A female warrior. They form a group thrown together each with their own agenda and it changes them all.
A silver witch. A lion of darkness. Boats with magic crews. Blood magic. Darkness. Death.
This was a fascinating story and I was drawn in from the first page, because hey, I really needed another series to pine for the next book of....AHHH!!!
