Genre: YA Science Fiction/Adventure

Teaser #1 from 6% into the book. .

Five whole minutes! Outside. By herself.

It sent a thrill through her blood like she’d never experienced. It made her smile and stretch her arms out.

Teaser #2 from 8% into the book..

“You have been chosen, Jacey,” Mother Tyeesha had said. “All of the Scions have been chosen for a great destiny. You must study hard and prepare yourself for it.”

~~~

I’ve already read this book and I’m getting ready to review it.

To refresh my memory, I’m reading it again.

I’ve actually got more out of this time and am having just as much fun.

Book Description:

Few people even know that the Scion School exists. Tucked away on a private Caribbean island, the school is host to thirty-six exceptionally gifted students, all orphans. They train and study every day to prepare themselves for an immense responsibility, to lead humankind back from the brink of extinction.

At least, that’s what they’ve been told.

Among the thirty-six is Jacey, 17, one of four Scions in the Eagle class. She is the favorite of the 93-year-old headmaster, Dr. Carlhagen. But when Jacey overhears a conversation between a strange visitor and one of the school’s first graduates, she learns a stunning fact about her future. One that Dr. Carlhagen has kept from all the Scions.

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!

    Who knew being outside could be so exciting… lol… she must be a kept girl.

  2. Kathy Martin says:

    Now you have made me curious. I’ll have to look for this book. My teasers are from Shield of Winter by Nalini Singh and Midnight Thief by Livia Blackburne. Happy reading!

  3. The cover looks really interesting, and also very sci-fi. This character must have been cooped up for a while. This week I’m teasing a book from my favorite series. From Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels series: Dreams Made Flesh.

    I love the cover and the teasers. This sounds like a really good read. Thanks for sharing. Here is The Beholder (Kindle 78%)

  5. “All of the Scions have been chosen for a great destiny. You must study hard and prepare yourself for it.”

    I love words! I love books! I love the anticipation of this Teaser; I’m curious. That book cover though! Breathtaking artwork.

      I love it too. When I received the cover art for the reveal, the author left me guessing as to what the book was about. I was way off.LOL
      Heading on over, Claudia

  6. I’m definitely curious about the world the author has created in this book, and I want to know more about the Scions. Sounds good!
    My Teaser is from THE FRIENDSHIP STAR QUILT.
