Caught between love and duty, can she make an impossible choice?

Five years ago, Aera was called away from everything she had ever known: her home, family, and Coram, the boy she was growing to love. She was given no choice. As the only living lava-shifter—able to transform her body into molten rock—she is destined to serve the volcano god as his fire priestess. Now, before she takes her ordained role, she must face her final test. Execute a criminal sentenced to death for the most unforgivable of all sins. Blasphemy.

She’s shocked to discover it’s no anonymous law-breaker waiting chained at the center of the labyrinth. It’s Coram. For the crime of being a gargoyle, a winged stone-shifter. A gift akin to hers…except his gift is unsanctioned by the temple, his powers proclaimed unholy.

If she refuses the test she will betray her god and condemn her family to dishonor. To pass it she must kill the boy she used to love…the man she still does.

Book Review Submission Guidelines


If you've published a book, I want to read it!

I am open to submissions from traditional, e- and self-publishers.

I love contemporary, romance, fantasy, science fiction, suspense, western and young adult novels. I shy away from gore for the sake of gore, horror, and eroticism that verges on porn. If you send something that simply doesn't work for me, I will let you know so you can send it elsewhere.

Send a note with the title of your novel, its format, and a brief (one paragraph) description to Editor Jennifer. I will email back submission details.

"Jennifer Feddersen has an eye for detail that didn't just improve my novel, but my writing. Feddersen pointed out the problems with my novel along with how to fix and spot them on my own. She also picked up on issues dealing with the depth of my characters. Her report was professional and honest. She gave me the type of feedback that is priceless in the publishing industry. I will definitely use her again."

I loved the detailed and time-consuming edit Jennifer Fedderson did for my novel. I believe that her professional feedback and comprehensive review have strengthened my voice, style and overall marketability. I look forward to working with Jennifer again on more projects. And I will absolutely recommend her editing services to anyone who wants to take their writing to the next level.

More About Jennifer...

Jennifer's fate was sealed when she aced the English portion of the SAT and received a BA in English from the University of Pennsylvania (with a concentration in Medieval Languages - Latin, Old English, Old Icelandic and a smidge of Greek). Although she briefly tried finance, child care, and even a foray into chicken farming, she couldn't escape her destiny - working with the written word.

From tutoring high school students to pass the SAT, to writing and editing copy for a distributing/manufacturing company, to teaching Latin, to writing romance novellas, to creating AudioLark Audio Books, Jennifer has used her talent for spotting mistakes to benefit employers, clients and friends.
