It’s a delectable, rich in detail, numbingly brilliant and swoon-worthy read that you can’t afford to miss out on. YA or not, this is just pure awesomeness and every fantasy fan should read it. “Surrender is hands down one of my favorite fantasy books ever. “Rhiannon Paille creates a unique and beautiful world that will draw you in and make you remember what it was like to be young, innocent, and full of wonder.” – Cory Putman Oakes, Author of The Veil
“Reading this book felt like reading a classic, but with everything I love in a book: romance, heartbreak, and lots of action! I would recommend this book to EVERYONE and then dare them not to fall in love with it!” – Sammie Spencer, Author of Amaretto Flame “Surrender is definitely full of emotion and will take you on an incredible journey through the eyes of these two incredible characters.” – Lucy at Moonlight Gleam
The plot was original, the characters were relatable and down to earth despite not living on Earth.” – Courtney at Readable Charper It’s better than ice cream for a break up. In a desperate attempt to save her home and her love, Kaliel tries to awaken Avred, not knowing she may have to make the ultimate sacrifice All from 11.20 Used Books from 11.20 Rare Books from 35. (Kaliel, Krishani and Pux.)

For some of them I took words from the Tolkien dictionary (Atara, Istar and Mallorn) but for others, they came to me with their names in hand. In regards to the people, I went with the names that seemed to suit them the best. I was afraid critics would tell me my Avalon was inaccurate because it didn’t feature King Arthur or Morgan Le Fay or the Lady of the Lake. One of the reasons I also changed the name was because I didn’t want to have the responsibility of tying my Avalon to the Avalon people are familiar with today.
Still, if you read Mists of Avalon, or any Arthurian myth, you will notice a lot of correlations between Avristar and Avalon. Before that I called the island Avalon (which was a rip off of Marion Zimmer Bradley) At some point I decided that to be original I had to be original. Avristar in its early days was Istalindir (which was a rip off of a Tolkien word).
