Living on a tropical island and set to land a role that fulfils her desire to travel the seas, Calitha Araxie’s life seems perfect. She daydreams through the Academy’s lessons, longing for a chance to escape.
When nightfall comes, she uses her hidden power to transform her appearance and sneaks away to meet her book-loving best friend, Dagwood. With him, there’s no need to act impeccably...except he doesn’t know the truth about her.
Cali struggles to keep up the act and when her twin sister is assaulted and nearly dies, she reels from the fact her deception is to blame and not all in the Academy is what it seems.
As graduation nears, her family’s loyal servant is accused of theft and a fellow classmate is brutally attacked. Cali takes solace in her visits to Dagwood, only to find his own plans to leave are escalating--and he longs for her to join him.
When Cali’s lies begin to close in on her, the horrors behind the attacks are unveiled, and Cali must devise a way to reveal the truth.
But little does she know the story behind her own heritage and how far her powers will take her...
Jade and Tar is a young adult fantasy tale perfect for fans who'd like to read a mash-up of authors like Leigh Bardugo and Brandon Sanderson. If you enjoy mystery, action, strong family ties and characters who must learn to deal with what life throws at them, then give Jade and Tar a try. It has a very slow burn romance as a sub-plot and instead focusses on solid friendships, the importance of heritage and escapism.”
