You wont be able to put these books down. -Brenda ElliottAuthor Interview: What makes this new world unique?In the Sun-Blessed Trilogy the magical system is tied to childbirth. I love the miracle of birth and tying magic to such an incredible event felt natural and appropriate. Some of the heroes in this series are midwives who pass magic on to sun-blessed children and later train these same children to use their gifts.What audiences is the series appropriate for?This trilogy is appropriate for teen and adult audiences. There is no cursing explicit sexual content or gory violence. (The series contains childbirth scenes details of puberty non-gory murder scenes and non-explicit references to adultery). I wanted to write a series my own kids could read and Im happy to provide an exciting quality story that a wide variety of ages will enjoy.
