Caught in the Ripples (The Water Rushes #2)
by S. McPherson
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: July 31st 2016
Summary:
When the Exlathars escaped the battle that night, their silhouetted figures merged with the sky, their wings swatted at stars and the Coltis people were too busy celebrating their victory to realise that there wasn’t one.
Now the Exlathars are back. And they bring with them remnants of everybody’s past.
Back in England, Dezaray discovers just how deep Coldivor’s connection to Earth really goes. But she cannot change their past and she cannot see how to alter their future. So it seems the ripples that shake the surface are only a glimpse of what’s brewing beneath.
‘Caught in the Ripples’ delves deeper into the Water Rushes saga, answers questions the first book raised and plunges you into an ocean of intrigue and magic.
They thought the Elenfar was the end…turns out it was only the beginning.
Here is a closer look at the realm of Coldivor in the multiverse known as The Nynthst:
Coldivor is made up of two parts:
- Taratesia: their original home and the land they fled from when the Vildacruz invaded.
- Melaxous: The land they fled to for safety though it is derelict and barren.
There are 7 empires of Coldivor and each empire holds their own power to wield and use to protect their realm.
In Prelang, you will find the Premoniters, gifted with visions of the future. Using their ability, Premoniters can play a hand in stopping unwanted events, helping to tip the scales of good and evil.
Prevolids Peak homes the Prevolids. Those with the ability to see through as many layers as they wish. They can see straight through an iron building or down to the bottom of the ocean.
Fuatrass is the empire for those with extraordinary strength. Their bodies are stacked with rippling muscles and when in battle, Fuertés are able to double in size.
Born of ice and fire, those who live in Ochi’s place are gifted with the ability to greatly alter the temperature of something to freezing cold or scorching hot. They are able to conjure both ice and fire from thin air and use them to take down enemies and forge weapons.
Telathrodon is where those with the power to pass from place to place, reside: Teltreporthis. They are gifted with the ability to teleport, flitting from here to there on a whim.
Those living in Travisory are handed the gift of time. They are able to see what has previously happened in a place no matter how long ago it may have occurred. Completely immersed in a scene, Travisors can witness first-hand an act that transpired. Some took it upon themselves to join the Court of Coldivor where they serve as investigators of crime scenes.
Spee’ad Sphere is the site for those with incredible speed, those that race by in a barely visible blur hurtling objects and people out of their paths. It is actually a Spee’ad that Dezaray encounters in the beginning chapters of ‘At Water’s Edge’.
Elanice is no longer on the map. It is instead marked as the Elentri Burial ground, the empire that the Vildacruz wiped out the minute they arrived. The Vildacruz were brutal, killing every single Elentri…well, all except one.

GIVEAWAY:
I tried to embed these quizzes, but couldn’t make it work.
Tthey look like such fun, please visit the link to share your thoughts.
Villains *sigh*, what gloriously devious creatures. No story would be complete without them. The hero wouldn’t be a hero without the villain to defeat. The story would not be as gripping without the villain adding that raging conflict. No character’s mind is as deliciously twisted as that of the villains.
I don’t deny it, I say it proud: I for one, adore villains. The characters we all love to hate. Don’t you love them too?
Take the quiz below and find out just how well you know your villains. Would you recognise them if they were sitting right beside you?

Don’t you just love heroes? My list of the ones I could rave about is endless, and not just the classic D.C. and Marvel delights but all heroes! Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, Jon Snow, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Heroes are the good guys; the reason we embrace the story. They are the person we root for. They give us hope and show us qualities we like to think exist in all of us. I often like to imagine what my ability would be if I were a hero. It remains a toss-up between invisibility and telekinesis. Hmmm…
Anyway, how well do you know your heroes? Take the quiz below, called: ‘Weapon of Choice’. Can you identify the hero based on their weapon?
