For fans of Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games- high fantasy and dystopia meet in this high-stakes tale of a civilization built on lies and the girl who single-handedly brings it down.
Heather Terrell worked as a commercial litigator in New York City for over ten years, but she has always been obsessed with myth, lore, and the gap between history and the truth. This preoccupation has led to several loosely factual historical novels (The Chrysalis, The Map Thief, Brigid of Kildare) and the pure-lore Fallen Angel series. Relic is the first installment of The Books of Eva series. She lives in Pittsburgh with her family. Visit her at www.heatherterrell.com.
Praise for Relic "Heather Terrell excavates a richly realized and
adventurous world from the iced-over wreck of our own."
--William Alexander, New York Times bestseller and 2012 National
Book Award winner "Fans of The Hunger Games will devour this
book."
--School Library Journal "With threads from The Hunger Games, The
Giver, and other dystopian novels, Terrell spins her own story,
which has plenty of adventure, some unanswered questions, and a
dash of romance... The way relics--iPhones, guns, even
makeup--affect the story adds an ironic touch."
--Booklist
"Part post-apocalyptic fiction and part high fantasy, Relic is the
beginning of a trilogy that is written artfully and with a voice
you will not soon forget. Delicately weaving in elements of Inuit
culture as well as elements you might find in Game of Thrones,
Heather Terrell creates a world that is as intricate as it is icy.
The intrigue and mystery make it a page-turner, and the rich and
complex characters make it hard to forget. I cannot wait for the
sequel!"
--E. Kristen Anderson, Editor of Dear Teen Me "Technology is a
fragile thing and another Dark Age could be closer than you
think.... the world built in Relic is unique and has a rich
allegorical quality."
--Pittsburgh Post Gazette "A dystopia set in a post-global-warming
future: plucky heroine, lying leaders, ridiculous endurance tests
and, yes, two hot guys."
--Kirkus Reviews "Even when Eva knows that what she's doing might
come with unforeseen, negative consequences, she cannot ignore her
need to know the truth. I love her for that."
--Kirkus Book Report by Mandy Curtis of Forever Young Adult "I
already can't wait for the second book of the RELIC series to come
out. Eva is a strong female character and a great role model for
teen girls. This is also a great book for both teens and parents to
read."
--Jennifer Wagner, Connect with your Teens through Pop Culture and
Technology "An exciting tale of self-discovery and one of great
societal commentary.... Deft world-building creates a believable
society in an icy clime with a strong and well-rounded main
character. Eva's choices for the future will leave readers anxious
to see her tale continue in the next installment... a fresh new
perspective in the dystopian field."
--VOYA "A remarkable story.... highly recommended."
--Mysterious Reviews
