Updated on July 29th, 2022 by Tanner Fox: Magic has been a key component of storytelling since fiction first formed millennia ago, and the concepts of witches, wizards, spells and sorceries will likely appear in movies for the remainder of the medium’s relevance.

I did really enjoy seeing how the series came to an end, but I found it largely unsatisfying due to counterproductive character development, disappointing “boss” fights, and loose ends. The Rebels of Gold, the final installment of the Loom Saga and follow up to The Dragons of Nova and The Alchemists of Loom, was my least favorite of the trilogy. Unlikely leaders vie for the opportunity to shape a new world order from the perfect clockwork designs of one temperamental engineer.This is the final installment of USA Today bestselling author Elise Kova's Loom Saga, THE REBELS OF GOLD will reveal the fate of Loom's brilliantly contrasting world and its beloved inhabitants. ![]() Meanwhile, on Nova, those same Dragons fight amongst themselves, as age-old power struggles shift the political landscape in fateful and unexpected ways. ![]() Published by Keymaster Press on December 5th 2017īuy on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, The Book DepositoryĪ new rebellion rises from the still-smoldering remnants of the five guilds of Loom to stand against Dragon tyranny.

With a tilt of his head, Sinclair indicated the rosewood box that lay open at the end of his workbench. ![]() Besides, I didn’t realize that was a gun. Out of practice, I guess, Griff acknowledged, his mouth relaxing into a smile. I would think you, of all people, would know that. You should never sneak up on a man who’s holding a gun, Rafe Sinclair said without glancing up. The striking blue eyes were hidden, intent on whatever he was shaping, but the austere, almost forbidding features were exactly as he had remembered them. When he lifted his gaze from the workman’s hands, he realized with a sense of shock that the passage of six years had had as little effect on the face of the man he was watching as on those hands. When no one had answered his repeated knocks on the front door, Cabot had been drawn around to the back by a sound he hadn’t then been able to identify. The workshop where he was working had been attached to the back of a small log cabin, which sat in a clearing on the side of Sinclair Mountain. ![]() Dark, long-fingered hands handled the object with a skill that was nearly graceful, despite the strength and masculinity that was apparent in their every movement.

We were once rebels! Proudly insolent teenagers!" Readers may find it hard to believe that the book's unusual characters bond so strongly (such as CC's punk boss, Johnny Mold, and her uptight half-sister LisBETH) and they may well predict the outcome-but they will have fun watching CC's free spirit take on the Big Apple. ![]() This book once again covers a lot of ground, including CC's first fight with Danny, the death of a friend and a trip back to California to see her parents (and to track down Shrimp), but CC's authentic voice keeps the story grounded. When Shrimp arrives on her doorstep just in time for a Christmas surprise, CC must decide if she wants to continue building her own life or make one with the man she loves. ![]() Her new life features ups and downs (she breaks her leg and drops out of culinary school, but also makes new friends and lands a job as a barista).

I returned to Oswego and met up with Jordan and Archer. The book took a tremendous amount of research. I assured them, “It’s not going to be about you, it’s going to be inspired by your actions.” ![]() After meeting Jordan in a chance encounter, I got in touch with them, saying I would like to write a novel about what transpired. ![]() In 2017, I saw a news story on Facebook about Jordan April and Archer Shurtliff, two teens in Oswego, New York, near Syracuse, who refused to do a school assignment on the Holocaust that included arguing for the extermination of the Jews.
