The intriguing fantasy land of Dea Dominion serves as the setting for DeDominicis\u2019s sparkling debut. Trying to come to terms with the suffocating conditions of her life, Iris Paisley finds a friend and companion in the impassioned Dean Prouse. But when the enigmatic and charming Mada Retina enters Iris\u2019s life, she realizes she has found the love of her life. Only Mada is not what he seems on the surface. The novel has it all: love, passion, friendship, action, courage, treachery, and secrets. Iris is heartbreakingly real, and her grief over her father\u2019s death, her struggles with the land\u2019s unsavory rules are rooted in reality. Well-constructed and vivid segments are interspersed detailing the kingdom\u2019s backstory. DeDominicis\u2019s storytelling is engrossing, and his characters are good literary company.\u00a0 This satisfying book, filled with vivid emotions and surprisingly nuanced characters makes for an addictively readable tale. DeDominicis is a writer to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
