This week, ‘Recurve’ by Shannon Mayer is at the top of the Fiction category. This is the first book in the ‘Elemental’ series, and it introduces fans of the fantasy genre to a world where elementals use the power of the earth to sustain life and defy the kingdom’s enemies. Larkspur is not like the other elementals. For one, she is a half-breed, bastard child, so she has no right to the throne. Then, her elemental powers don’t work that well, and to top it all, she’s been accused of attacking the queen, her wicked stepmother. Larkspur doesn’t have many options: she is either banished, or she accepts to become one of the King’s Elite Guards. Both will probably end with her death. Will she be able to find her way out of this mess she didn’t create in the first place?
