Description
The magical island of Kalaya is dying, and it falls to Tei, an exiled mystic, to save it. But with Kalaya’s corrupt Assembly attempting to eradicate magic, can Tei help the exiles restore the island’s power before it’s too late?
When her father is murdered by the Assembly’s Masked Riders, Tei flees to the hidden mountain sanctuary of Turrak. Welcomed by the exiles, she is tasked with finding the realm’s next Sentinel before the old one dies. Tei must navigate the monster-ridden Astral Plane, while being pursued by the Soul Eater, a dark entity that devours lost spirits.
As Tei risks everything to find the hidden Sentinel, a lone Assemblyman attempts to dismantle the Assembly from within and prevent the persecution of magic. While across the Silent Sea, a reluctant naval commander, who is being manipulated by telepathic visions, readies an invasion fleet, pulling all their destinies towards a devastating war for the island’s survival.
To save Kalaya, Tei must learn that true power isn’t just about wielding magic—it’s about surviving the devastating sacrifices required to protect it.

The Lost Sentinel by Suzanne Rogerson 4/5
I enjoyed reading this fantasy novel. It’s book one of the Silent Sea Chronicles and I’ve already got books 2 & 3 on my kindle waiting to be read!
The island of Kalaya is dying, the magic fading. Tei is appointed by the mystics in exile to find a new Sentinel, guardian of the magic.
There’s a good blend of realism and magic and well drawn contrasts between the characters and their cultures.
There are multiple viewpoints that are easy to follow and three main storylines; Tei, Brogan and Farrell.
Farrell’s ship life and home life are well portrayed with a sense of impending doom from the start.
Brogan’s farm life and town life are completely different even though they’re only a day’s ride apart. The uncomfortable position he’s placed in is made clear from the very beginning.
And Tei’s discovery of who she really is and what her role is to be, is beautifully portrayed.
There are tragic deaths, heroic rescues and love found and lost. This is a story about discovery and endurance.
Ideal for fantasy lovers including YA readers.
