Unfortunately, the disruptive arrival of Prince Leander ruins her plans when he derails the Lizabetta’s course to embark on a secret voyage to the Isles of the Gods. Bristling under the tyrannical mentorship from Rensa, who has relentlessly stuck her with all the worst menial chores on the Lizabetta, Selly is determined to make her escape north to join her father. Selly is the daughter of Stanton Walker, a well-renowned captain and also an absentee father, having left Selly in the care of Captain Rensa when he headed north a year ago to scout out new trading routes and recruit new talent for his fleet of ships. The Isles of the Gods is a rare solo outing for this author in her YA fantasy debut, which kicks off a brand new series set in a world with slumbering gods, scheming religious orders and capricious elemental spirits. Amie Kaufman is well-known to YA booklovers for co-authoring incredible bestsellers such as The Illuminae Files with Jay Kristoff and the Starbound trilogy with Meagan Spooner. ![]()
