Above the Star
The 8th Island Trilogy #1
By Alexis Marie Chute

Ella Wellsley is dying. Her mother, Tessa, has given up all hope that further treatments will help. Her father, Arden, disappeared several years ago, but Ella knows that he never gave up hope of a cure being discovered. His hope is her hope, and as long as Grandpa Archie is around, she will hold onto that.

When Archie stumbles upon a clue that may lead him to Arden, he plans a family trip to the Canary Islands.  What he finds leads him a most inhuman being who offers him the promise of a cure, but there is a price. 

What follows is the most unbelievable journey - the cruise ship that Archie and his family are traveling on is accidental transported to the island of  Jarr-Wyn. What follows is the most terrifying series of events that the Wellsleys had ever seen, and Archie is left with grief at the destruction and death his desire has wrought upon innocent bystanders.

Above the Star is but the first book in The 8th Island trilogy, a series that promises to reveal more as it continues. The storyline is excellent if a bit bloody and violent. Not bedtime reading by any stretch of the imagination unless your dreams are never troubled literary influences (I for one am not so I will admit to staying up late to read this). The book is intriguing, as the history of this world is slowly revealed. But this is a dying world, and those who call it home are fighting to survive. The fragile peace that exists between the races is threatened by the arrival of humans.  

If you are a fan of Scifi, fantasy, and parallel worlds, this is a book you don't want to miss. The unimaginable is real, and the impossible is probable, but not everything seen with the eyes is real until it is. 

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I offer my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

Book Description:

When frumpy senior citizen Archie goes in search of his missing son in the Spanish Canary Islands, he stumbles upon a higher mission: locating a magical cure for his ailing fourteen-year-old granddaughter, Ella. Using a portal-jumping device called the Tillastrion, Archie and a stone-headed creature named Zeno are transported to Jarr-Wya, a magnificent yet terrifying island in a connected realm―along with Ella and her strong-willed mother, Tessa.

What they find on Jarr-Wya is an island tortured by a wicked Star anchored in the sea, and a raging three-way battle for dominion between the stone-wielding Bangols, the fiery Olearons, and the evil Millia sands. Ella's wit and resourcefulness emerge in this new world, while Tessa is forced to confront her long-buried secrets and a confusing new love triangle. When Ella is captured, Tessa and Archie―with the help of a company of peculiar allies―set out to save her and unravel the terrible mystery of her cure. A mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night adventure of three unlikely heroes, Above the Star reminds us that even the smallest act of bravery can transform our lives and the fates of the worlds around us.

Series Description:

The 8th Island Trilogy includes Above the Star, Below the Moon, and Inside the Sun. Over the three books, we follow the adventures of a quirky family, the Wellsleys. The main characters are frumpy senior citizen Archie, his daughter-in-law, Tessa, and his ill fourteen-year-old granddaughter Ella.

Archie, searching for his missing son, accidentally transports his family—and a cruise ship full of people—to a magical planet. There, they uncover the truth: all worlds are dying. Yet hope is not lost. A way to restore all that will soon be destroyed is revealed, along with the realization that Ella will play a role no one could have imagined—especially not her.

On the mysterious island of Jarr-Wya, many races of creatures battle for dominion, and magic lurks around every corner. When the world falls dark, that is when bravery must shine the brightest, and the Wellsleys will reveal the strength they never knew they possessed—as well as the power of love to save the day.

Guest Post from Author Bonnie Leon with Book Spotlight

Today Blooming with Books is hosting author Bonnie Leon.

Enjoy this guest post from her:

Do you ever feel as if you can’t do one more thing? That life is just too much? It’s too hard? You’re too busy? You’re overwhelmed? In these trying times, my guess is that many of us find ourselves in such a place.

Writers often feel this way, even in the best of times. And when life throws something awful our way the weight of it all can feel too heavy, be too great a burden.

Writing books is a solitary endeavor, usually. Most of us don’t mind that. In fact, being a novelist in today’s publishing world forces many of us out of our comfortable dens.

There was a time when novelists “just” wrote. Mostly.

Today writers are also now advertising experts, bloggers, publishers,
researchers, secretaries, bookkeepers, speakers, social media experts ...
and they are also mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, caretakers. Writers
work other jobs and serve in their churches and communities. They have
families that need them and long to-do lists that have nothing to do with
writing.

Yet, at the end of our very long days we are expected to have minds that
can think creatively and if we hope to craft a novel we need the energy to
labor through the hours that make up the months required to get to the
place where we write The End.

I’m certain God called me to write, but I’m also convinced that he didn’t
expect me to kill myself doing it. We as writers need to realize that none of
us are required to work ourselves into the ground.

I long to write great novels, to lose myself in unique and interesting tales,
and to get caught up in the lives of characters that I care about. But that
doesn’t always happen. The blaring horn of the world distracts me.

I cannot ignore the hubbub. So much of it matters too. The diversions,
mysteries, heartaches, and the fun are also part of life. If we anchor
ourselves to our desks and skip those pieces we really aren’t living at all.

We need time of quiet to listen to the hush of the forest or the humming
noise of the city, time with friends and family, time to take in the moments
with a child that will never come again—laughter and tears—we need to live
it all, no matter what job we are called to.

I marvel at those who live quietly in the ebb and flow of life. Those who
don’t fight the tide, but allow it to carry them out to sea and then rest when
washed into a quiet pool. Can I find my way to such a place, in the quiet
presence of the lord or in the friendship of someone who comes alongside,
and in the confidence of releasing a pursuit and learning not to strive so
hard?

And what about all the writerly things I need to do? I’m still sorting that out.
I can’t do it all and instinctively know that I should focus on what comes
naturally, to do the things I enjoy and to write what I feel passionate about.
If I do that, the tasks are not a burden, but an opportunity to create.

As part of God’s family, we need to encourage and uplift one another. As a
writer, I need to hear from fellow writers and from readers. Words of
understanding and encouragement can brighten a dark day.

Only in the presence of God can we truly find contentment and gratitude
about who we are, where we are and what we do. It’s good to be in the
place God plants us. He knows our hearts like no other, and in Him we are
able to find peace and rest. And are able to write another day.

About the Author:

An award-winning author, including the GOLD in Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards, Jen Geigle Johnson discovered her passion for England while kayaking on the Thames near London as a young teenager.

She once greeted an ancient turtle under the water by grabbing her fin. She knows all about the sound a water-ski makes on glassy water and how to fall down steep moguls with grace. During a study break date in college, she sat on top of a jeep’s roll bars up in the mountains and fell in love.

Now, she loves to share bits of history that might otherwise be forgotten. Whether in Regency England, the French Revolution, or Colonial America, her romance novels are much like life is supposed to be: full of adventure.

Guest Post:

Why did I write a romance that begins with such sadness?

If you did feel sad at the beginning of my book, I apologize. But I’m also so honored that you would immerse yourself enough in the characters and their lives that they should matter. I am creating a family, a set of characters that we can stick with for a year or more as I write the books of more of these characters. As I considered the Duke and his second chance, I just didn’t think it would be possible to appreciate what he was going through unless we experienced a bit of it with him. Telling you the poor man had lost a wife whom he loved dearly doesn’t have the same impact as seeing him cradle her in his arms. And while I can’t think of the moment without my own tears forming, his second chance is sweeter because of that sadness.

Amelia’s situation hasn’t been easy either. We don’t experience the trials her parents went through as her mother ran off with a baker. We don’t see the shunning, the hiding, and the hopes they all felt when setting up a new establishment, the tea shoppe. We don’t see the years of feeling as though she were less important than all the many nobles she served every day. We just see a good souled woman who is willing to help a man in his grief.

In the beginning, they could never have formed any kind of relationship. But as he continued to look to her for help, as his lodestone, a relationship can develop. How beautiful that her moment of realization, that her father’s need for someone to take care of his daughter, should all come about when the duke too, was ready for his second chance. Do you believe that life is sometimes orchestrated in just such a way? That our very happiness can at times be in the hands of someone who takes care in the way things work out?

And then at the end of the book, we see an intriguing moment when the duke loses a game of cards on purpose, gifting the properties and the family of sisters into the hands of Morley, his best friend. I can’t wait to see what happens with the beginnings of that story. Here we go friends! Join me as we get to know these beautiful people, their hardships and their joys. 

Snippet:

The duchess’s labor had started in the carriage while returning to their London townhome. Perhaps her pinched face and general malaise during the earlier parts of the day should have clued the duke in that all was not right, but she gave no complaint, and now he was left only to wish she had expressed a word or two of her condition. He’d carried her himself into her room, her gowns wet through. At last on her bed, he was relieved she would be in the hands of someone more experienced than he who knew how to care for her. But as he brushed the hair from her forehead, as he gazed on his beloved’s face, he couldn’t bear to part, not yet, not with her in the utmost misery.

Gerald clasped his wife’s hands in his own, hoping the strength of his love for her would scare away the pain.

Her face pinched, and she doubled over, large drops of sweat falling off her forehead. “Don’t leave!”

“I’m here. Our illustrious midwife will have to unleash her dragon claws on me before I leave.”

That brought a tiny laugh from his wife which gratified Gerald to no end. He tried to keep up a form of banter with Camilla who was clenched in the pains of childbirth, but in truth, if she wasn’t gripping him so tightly, everyone in the room would see the trembling in his own limbs. She cried out. “It’s getting worse. Is this supposed to happen?” Her eyes, wide with terror, made him frantic.

“Someone do something!” He had tried to find his deep barreling voice but the order came out more of a squeak than anything.

The midwife sidled up to him, “Pardon me, Your Grace. If I may?” She attempted to separate their hands, but he and Camilla resisted, gripping tighter. She continued, “She is doing wonderfully. Her body is performing just as we would expect it to. Everything is progressing as it should. Soon you will have a new baby.”

Camilla rolled toward him onto her side, moaning and writhing on the bed.

“If I might?” The midwife gently tried again to pry their fingers apart, but Camilla clung to him. “No.” Her no came out as a long drawn out syllable and he almost stepped back in fear. But her grip on him offered no mercy, and no movement.

“I’m here.” He stated his determination to remain at her side. Though even to himself, his tone sounded less sure.

He hesitated one more moment, then Camilla screamed as though she were on a torture rack and released his hands, clutching instead the soothing cool fingers of their midwife, her cooing tones soothed Gerald as much as Camilla.

Gerald scooted further away. The door opened behind him. “Your Grace. I came as soon as I could.”

Gerald turned. “Dr. Miller. Thank you for coming.”

The doctor held the door open for him. “I’m presuming you were on your way out?”

Gerald nodded. “Yes, quite.” Just for a moment he would step into the hallway.

His wife turned eyes to him, beautiful, shining eyes full of love. “I shall be finished shortly they tell me.” Then her body clenched again and she curled into a ball. “Make it stop. Please make this stop.”

“I love you, Camilla.”

She waved him away, clenched in apparent agony.

The doctor shooed him out the door and before it closed firmly behind him, Gerald heard a quiet, “I love you too.” Gerald leaned up against it, breathing heavily. What a daft thing to do, impregnate his wife. What in the blazes was he thinking doing such a thing to them both? He closed his eyes, her scream audible through the thick door.

“Oh this will not do.” His friend’s voice lessened the strain that wound inside Gerald like a tight net.

Gerald whipped his eyes open, a welcoming smile interrupting the pain of his moment. “Cousin Morley. I’ve ruined her. She’ll never forgive me, I’m certain, and she’s in the most incredible pain.”

Another scream interrupted. The door flung open and a maid ran out, carrying linens and a bucket. The door shut firmly after her.

Morley gripped his shoulder. “Come, man. This is not the place for husbands. Wives always seem just fine after it’s all over.”

“I don’t know. She seemed determined I stay by her. I’m taking a break.” He swallowed.

“No, they say that at first, but what woman wants you to see her like that? It’s only going to get worse. You should have seen my sister’s household. The whole place was in a upheaval, everyone thinking their lady was going to fire them all.”

Morley considered his friend's words. “And when it was over, she was recovered?”

“Certainly. She was in the best of moods, gave them all an increase in pay.” Morley put an arm across his shoulder. “Come. We don’t belong anywhere near her. It’s off to the study with your fine brandy.”

Gerald nodded. “Indeed. That sounds like just the thing.” He hesitated a moment more and then allowed the goodwill of his dearest friend to lead him along to a brighter manner in which to pass the time.

The farther away from her bedroom, the more the fibers of worry lessened, and Gerald told himself his wife was in the best of hands, that women gave birth all the time and that surely she would be well. He pushed away a persistent, niggling worry that something terrible was happening, pushed it as far as he could. For just as his friend said, what more could he do? She would be well soon enough and he could meet his son or daughter. Their lives would continue as before.

Morley made himself comfortable in the study as he always did. Leaning back in his favorite chair, he said, “Remember when we convinced Joe that his cow was about to give birth?”

Gerald snorted, almost losing his mouthful of brandy. “Clueless Joe believed us, with not a bull in sight on their estate.”

Morley laughed and raised his cup in the air. “To Joe.”

“To Joe.”

They downed their cups, and Morley poured two new ones.

“Thanks for being here.”

“Would I miss the best thing you’ve ever done?”

Gerald eyed him with suspicion. “That sounds very sentimental…”

“We hope. If your child is anything like Her Grace, then we’re sure of you doing a service to society…”

“And if the child’s like me?”

“Then we’ve just inflicted society with another Campbell, and I don’t know how I feel about that.”

“Being a Campbell yourself.”

“Precisely. I know what a pox we are on the land.”

Gerald downed his second cup, grateful for a reason to laugh. “Tell me cousin. Will there ever be another Campbell in your life?”

“If my mother has anything to say on the matter.”

“And what say you? Surely someone has caught your eye?”

Morley looked away, his face drawn in an uncharacteristic frown. “I’ve found women to be nothing more than a silly, grappling means of entrapment.” He coughed. “Present wives excluded.”

Gerald sympathized with his friend. Finding a woman to marry should not be so difficult. He felt supremely lucky, blessed, in his marriage to Camilla. They had fallen in love straight away, both of them happy to pursue a courtship, their parents pleased, society approving, but he knew it wasn’t so easy for most people.

“Come, man. I shall devote the next bit of my life to making you the happiest of men.”

Morley held up his hands and shook his head. “Assistance not necessary. In fact, quite unwelcome.”

“Think nothing of it. I want you just as happily situated as I am, for marriage has brought nothing but the best of feelings. Today’s activities aside, naturally.”

A man cleared his throat in the doorway.
