Crisanta Knight: The Severance Game

Geanna Culbertson

Sinopsis

A lot of questions ran through my head as I desperately clung to the roof of a magic train crossing over a gaping canyon. Like: How did I get here? What could I have done to avoid this fate? And, did I remember to shave my underarms before coming on this quest?But even after taking on a witch in a gingerbread house, bloodthirsty actors, and a whole mess of magic hunters and other fairytale shenanigans, the biggest, most pressing question pulsing through my brain as my fingers started to slip and my enemy bore down on me was this:Could I really trust the person whose life I’d ruined to keep me from falling?With antagonists closing in, inner demons threatening to consume me, and vivid nightmares chewing up my soul every time I shut my eyes, I was running out of options.I knew the moment to decide whether or not I could truly trust any of my friends was fast approaching. But my head and heart were stuck. For just like the precarious position I now found myself in, the pain of holding onto the path I’d chosen thus far was outmatched only by the worry I had over (gulp) letting it go . . .READERS LOVE CRISANTA KNIGHT:“If you like reading books full of action, magic and a strong heroine, this is the one for you.” - Crazy Cat Books"Trust, self-discovery and friendship were definitely the defining factors of this novel, with a great emphasis on trust.” The Unicorn Reader“I love this story; it brings out the inner princess in me.” One More Chapter Blog“The worldbuilding continues to be amazing.” – Pages Full of StarsTHE CRISANTA KNIGHT SERIES:Book 1 - Protagonist BoundBook 2 - The Severance GameBook 3 - Inherent FateBook 4 - The Liar, The Witch, & The WormholeBook 5 - To Death & BackBook 6 - The Lost KingBook 7 - Into The GrayBook 8 - Midnight LawBook 9 - Eternity's End
