ABOUT THE BOOK:
\n<\/strong><\/font><\/a>As a baby, she was found in a footprint.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a girl, she was raised by thieves in a wilderness where savages lurk.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a young woman, she will risk her life to save the world with the only secret she knows.
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When thieves find an abandoned child lying in a monster\u2019s footprint, they have no idea that their wilderness discovery will change the course of history.<\/p>\n

Cloaked in mystery, Auralia grows up among criminals outside the walls of House Abascar, where vicious beastmen lurk in shadow. There, she discovers an unsettling\u2013and forbidden\u2013talent for crafting colors that enchant all who behold them, including Abascar\u2019s hard-hearted king, an exiled wizard, and a prince who keeps dangerous secrets.<\/p>\n

Auralia\u2019s gift opens doors from the palace to the dungeons, setting the stage for violent and miraculous change in the great houses of the Expanse.<\/p>\n

Auralia\u2019s Colors weaves literary fantasy together with poetic prose, a suspenseful plot, adrenaline-rush action, and unpredictable characters sure to enthrall ambitious imaginations.<\/a><\/p>\n

PRAISE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“Film critic and author Overstreet (Through a Screen Darkly) offers a powerful myth for his first foray into fiction. Overstreet\u2019s writing is precise and beautiful, and the story is masterfully told. Readers will be hungry for the next installment.”
\n—Publishers Weekly <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cThrough word, image, and color Jeffrey Overstreet has crafted a work of art. From first to final page this original fantasy is sure to draw readers in. Auralia’s Colors sparkles.\u201d
\n-\u2013Janet Lee Carey<\/strong>, award-winning author of The Beast of
\nNoor<\/em> and Dragon’s Keep <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cJeffrey Overstreet\u2019s first fantasy, Auralia\u2019s Colors, and its heroine\u2019s cloak of wonders take their power from a vision of art that is auroral, looking to the return of beauty, and that intends to restore spirit and and mystery to the world. The book achieves its ends by the creation of a rich, complex universe and a series of dramatic, explosive events.\u201d
\n-\u2013Marly Youmans<\/strong>, author of Ingledove<\/em> and The Curse of the Raven Mocker<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My Review<\/strong>
\n<\/font>I highly recommend Auralia’s Colors. I was drawn in by the lyrical writing style and transfixed by Jeffrey Overstreet’s truly artistic imagery. The characters and creatures of the expanse came alive through the words on the pages of this book. This novel is woven throughout with wonder, mystery and color. I find it hard to accurately describe the impressions left after reading Auralia’s Colors. I do believe that because of this book I felt a renewed appreciation for the riot of light and color that has been so abundant in our area this autumn season. I look forward to the next volume of the series.<\/p>\n
