A Promise of Return by Rebecca Crunden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 CRANKY STARS


This is book 3 in the series and at the beginning is a rehash of some of the events that happened previously. This one is from Thom’s perspective. For some reason, Nate was much sicker than Kitty and Thom feels it is his responsibility to help him find a cure or treatment. The Kingdom dictates that a sick person must be turned over to the medics. If that happens to Nate, no one will ever see him again. He has caused too much trouble for the government in the past. They have also found out that whatever is wrong with Nate and Kitty is very strange. They can’t tolerate the touch of a human; it burns their skin. From the books that Nate has read, it appears that they may be infected with something that has made them part or all Radiant. There is no way Nate wants Thom to enter the science building to check the files. But, of course he does just that and gets caught which is Nate and Kitty’s worst nightmare.


As I said, this is the story of how Thom was taken to prison and what happened to him once there. The country was told that he had been put to death. In reality, he was alive, just barely, and exiled. What happens to him next is beyond anyone’s imagination. Kitty is devastated but Nate is sure he is still alive somewhere. Everything Nate does from now on is to ensure that Thom can find him. Thom’s adventure makes him over into a stronger individual and a leader in his own right. Now he must find a way to escape and find Nate and Kitty. These stories overlap so as I said before, they must be read in order. You won’t be able to stop until the series finishes.
