EBurton said: To save the world she must die -- For as long as she can remember, La'tiera has known her purpose, her destiny. As the Bearer of the Eye, she will wait until the appointed time then sacrifice herself to the demons so her people will be safe. Then, as the time approaches, she is snatched from her home by strangers and is told it is for her protection. These strangers tell her she is not to die but must rather fight to live in order for the world to be saved. La'tiera will not be swayed, however. Despite their clever lies, she will follow her destiny and do what is required. But what if she's wrong? "I haven't read a novel in a great while that offered so much literary fodder in such a simple story. If I were an English literature teacher, I'd want to put Willing Sacrifice on my list of books to read and analyze in detail. It is destined to have lasting value." -- Janie Franz, MyShelf.com "Willing Sacrifice is one of the best fantasies I’ve ever read. Filled with adventure, danger, and delightful characters—as well as a touch of romance—this novel will keep you reading long into the night. I literally had to force myself to put the book down so I could get some sleep." -- Margaret Marr, nightsandweekends.com
