WoW #269 ~ The Catalyst

Posted January 24, 2024 by Lillian in Features / 2 Comments

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event originally created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating. Jill has been MIA since August of 2016. Despite this, the meme lives on….Hope you come back Jill! Until then I will be joining Tressa at Wishful Endings and her meme Can’t-Wait Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday y’all! This week I’m eagerly waiting on Rebecca Ethington‘s The Catalyst. Technically, this is a re-release of Of River and Raynn: The Catalyst which I loved. I cannot wait to reread this and see what changes the author made and get a chance to revisit this world.

“She will end us all if I try. No one has that kind of strength."

“You do,” he said, his hand soft against my cheek even if his eyes were like death. “I will never leave you, Raynn. I will always be with you, until the end.”

They found me when I was five; a little girl sitting on a bench in Grand Central Station, soaking wet, asking about the rain.

I remembered nothing about how I got there, or who my parents were. I couldn't even remember my name. I was tagged, labeled and doomed to cycle through state care for the next twelve years; moving from one family to another. They all rejected me as the dreams began to come, the memories of a fantasy world I don't understand began to return, and things around me began to explode.

Now my mind is full of a world of shadows, things that my heart pleads with me to be true, that I hope are only fantasy. That the disturbing past I see is not mine.

When I sleep I hear whispers of magic, of evil queens, of royal quests, and a world that exists alongside our own. Things that could never be. But, there is one thing I know to be true. That there was a boy who was torn from me. A boy that I know means more to me than a brother, or than a lover. But what he is to me, I am not sure. I hear him cry for me in my dreams, I hear people call him The Catalyst.

I know I need to find him.

I wouldn't have tried, if I would have known that finding River, would have made all my dreams turn into a haunting reality.

The Catalyst is the first book in A Song of River and Raynn, a danger filled adventure of Magic, Lies, and above all Love in an epic fantasy world.
