Our book recommendation for the letter O for YA is... Onyx & Ivory
This book is top on my TBR list at the moment it follows the story of Kate- nicknamed Traitor Kate after her father attempts to assassinate the King many years ago.
After her father was sentenced to death Kate has been living on the outskirts of the town just trying to live as best she can. She finds work as a member of the Relay, a group of highly skilled couriers that must be skilled with a bow and also be a skilled rider.
Only the best can be Relay riders because if they are not finished by nightfall they are hunted by nightdrakes, deadly flightless dragons.
Kate has a secret, shes a Wilder, a person gifted with magic that allows her to influence animals. Kate has to be careful as being a wilder is illegal and will insure her downfall if anyone was to figure out her secret. While on a courier run her magic leads her to the sight of a nightdrake attack. Her first thoughts are how did they attack in broad daylight but then she realizes the only survivor is Corwin, her childhood friend and first love she now has more to worry about then just the nightdrake
Kate and Corwins paths are then intertwined as they look into the daytime nightdrake attacks and discover that a much darker fate is heading towards the kingdom...
