Scout Selection: Dreadmarrow Thief

Dreadmarrow Thief

Seeking love, revenge, and a cure for death.

 

Defying her papa, Tessa Skye shapeshifts into a sparrow using a forbidden amulet. The wicked Conjurer Fellstone sends his knights to capture her, but failing that, they kill her papa. Grief-stricken, she sets out to steal Fellstone’s dreadmarrow and restore Papa to life. She’s joined by Calder, seeking his lost love, and Ash, whose growing attraction to Tessa distracts from his plan to avenge his murdered twin. Faced with a life or death choice, Tessa learns the terrible price of using magic.

From the Author:
FELLSTONE, the screenplay that the novel DREADMARROW THIEF is based on, won the Grand Prize in the 2016 Cynosure Screenwriting Awards. The screenplay also placed as a Finalist in the Creative World Awards. A judge in that contest wrote: “There’s a great deal to celebrate in FELLSTONE — a swift, rewarding read peppered with vivid characters and a wholly well-written story universe.” Most recently, the FELLSTONE screenplay advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Page Awards, awaiting further results.
