O ovoj e-knjizi
This YA fantasy novel about a teenager who takes on her family legacy of special powers has “an intriguing and trendy concept”(Booklist).
When nineteen-year-old Jenna Solitaire loses her grandfather, her only remaining family, she discovers a trunk in the attic. Inside she finds a planchette made of bone and an ancient wooden board scorched by fire and covered in strange symbols. Thinking only to connect with some element of her past, Jenna attempts to use it, and soon there is a voice whispering long-lost secrets in her mind. Secrets about her family, and the role handed down through generations of Solitaire women: Keeper of the Board. Thrust into a world she doesn't understand, Jenna must master the Board itself, even as she faces forces who will stop at nothing to take the Board for themselves. As Jenna struggles to determine who she can trust, she encounters, Simon Monk, who appears to have her best interests in mind, but frightens Jenna with his intensity. Jenna must conquer her doubts, her fears, and take on the mantle of Keeper of the Board and the Daughter of Destiny, or leave the Earth itself in peril.
“Jenna’s struggle to decide who she can and cannot rely on will strike a chord with readers, as will her reluctant attraction to Simon. . . . Recommended.” —Voices of Youth Advocates
“Compelling.” —School Library Journal
“Jenna Solitaire is an exciting new presence . . . Bring it on, Jenna!” —Nancy Holder, Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Queen of the Slayers and Pretty Little Devils
