Ray Cross wasn’t a hero; he could die too easily. But some things are worth risking death...
Ray Cross was born with a genetic disorder, resulting in a fragile body; his organs and blood vessels will rupture with any hard impact, so standing up to his best friend's controlling boyfriend could kill him. Ray's life in Midland, MI gets decimated when his parents reveal they are not his real parents and his real father, a king from a secret land hidden in the far north of Canada, is dying and wishes to meet his son. With his doctor and newly-met twin, Ray travels to the forgotten village of Yardis, where magic, myth, and corruption are abundant. But the longer Ray stays in the village learning the truth of his past and reconnecting with his father, King Vintras, the more he discovers an evil force threatening the king and his village. But there’s more than the king and a village tied to Yardis and Ray. He finds friendship and more from a band of brothers who are part witch, dragon, and healer. With new alliances and new abilities, Ray wars with himself on playing it safe or risking it all to save the ones he loves.
Can Ray rise above his fragile disorder to become the hero for once in his life?
REVIEW
D.A. Roach brings out a YA Fantasy read, this brings a happy smile to my face. I've been a fan/stalker for a while now and weather its a Paranormal read, her short Horror stories in the 13 Anthologies or a Fantasy read i want it. Hell if she wrote a shopping list i would probably read it.
Cross was an intriguing story of a boy who suffers from a rare disorder “vEDS”, Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. His life is a daily struggle and due to his illness everyone around him treats him like he's made of glass. Which is very understandable but for a teenage boy it must have been so frustrating. When all he wants is to get the girl he's mad about have fun with his best friend and live his life.
Life suddenly takes a dramatic turn and everything he's ever known and believed is turned upside down. He's then thrust into a life of myth, magic and mayhem. All while knowing that this adventure thats been forced upon him, could quite well be the one thing that kills him.
D.A. Roach gives us a great and captivating journey, that takes Cross to this new place. Where he has to deal and face things that he could never have imagined unless he read them in a book. I loved how throughout this story friendship and family were the key. Where Cross may have thought of himself as week, he constantly showed strength,
and courage all while everything around him was exploding.
Now i'll be completely honest i have never heard much about "vEDS" and it did make take a look and find out more. I really did love and appreciate that through her writing she is able to bring more awareness to this rare illness that i know affects on a personal level, and thats a positive in my eyes.
If you're a lover of YA Fantasy reads this is a great story that flows so well from page to page. That you can't help but get lost in this intriguing life of Cross's.
