Mystical and rich with vivid description, <strong><em>Sacrifice</em></strong> is a mix of fantasy and adventure that will keep you turning the pages until the very last one. It is one of those rare finds, and although it is marketed as young adult fiction, even adult readers will enjoy this entertaining novel.
