Welcome to the Read-Along! Each week, you will find a summary of that week’s readings, along with discussion points if you are wanting to read with a friend or join The Enchanted Book Nook for a broader book discussion.

Summary:

From learning more about her powers, to meeting with people she didn’t expect, becoming a Pathfinder was not all Nienna had expected.

The danger, action, and magic become more potent as we reach the conclusion of this novel.

Discussion points:

• Do you think Nienna realizes all the consequences of her becoming a Pathfinder? Why or why not?

• Out of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, which element do you think you would be most drawn to?

• Do you think Tellen has fallen for Nienna or is he still hung up over the loss of his previous love?

• What are your predictions for book two?

Fun Facts:

• Originally Teague was supposed to be Nienna’s love attraction, not Tellen. However, as the story was developed, Tellen continued to work his way forward.

• Nienna’s staff was originally supposed to be made of black walnut. However, after my cover designer created the cover for this novel, I went back and changed it to cherry wood.

• This series didn’t always start with The Earthspark. In its first draft, it started in a place called Mirror Mer. A place we don’t visit until book 4, The Siren’s Call.
