Black Bound (The Zyearth Chronicles) Kindle Edition

5.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

Matt Azure is a candidate for the Defender Academy and one of only two in his graduating class to already have one of the coveted Lexi Gems – powerful magic jewels that grant their owners long life and special powers. However, the only reason Matt has a Gem before everyone else is because he bound himself to it, making him a rare -- and feared -- Black Bound Gem user.

When Matt’s Gem finally breaks and gives him a magic specialty, it grants him rare wind manipulation powers… and he critically injures a student by accident. And worse, his best friend and adoptive sister Izzy Gildspine is getting dragged down with him when he discovers his Gem is stealing energy from her.

Now Matt must confront impossible odds and control before his magic gets completely out of hand… and drives him or Izzy to an early grave.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

R. A. Meenan was born in London during the golden age of science fiction, and learned from the best and brightest authors of that time (though if you asked her, she'd call this "college" or "getting a degree" or some nonsense).

Now an adult, she uses her incredible imagination to ride-hop intergalactic military spacecraft, comb the outer reaches of space and time, and write science fiction and contemporary fantasy stories based on her experiences. She's also hoping to find the perfect cup of coffee and a better way to grow dinosaurs. Her books tell the experiences of anthropomorphic and furry military personnel and race driver shifters.

She lives with her wonderful husband and the pair have four furry children (which are really cats, but don't tell them that) and one human child named after a video game character. She also spends her spare time teaching essay-writing haters, molding them into people resembling Actual Students and Lovers of English.

She may not win the hearts of stiff military men or students who want good grades for no effort, but she certainly captures the spirit and imagination of time travelers, magic users, nerds, Students-In-Training, and fantasy lovers.

    Fans of The Zyearth Chronicles will surely enjoy this short book featuring one of the series' main characters. In it, future Golden Guardian Matthew Azure must come to control the remarkable elemental powers after first manifesting during a schoolyard scrap. Or society will do it for him, consigning him to a miserable and short existence like a common criminal. Matt, doggedly persistent in everything he does, sets himself to overcoming his limitations, and succeeds! But he will need to navigate an even bigger and scarier challenge when his fix puts his best friend's health and well-being in jeopardy. A thrilling and somber tale calling upon readers to stand at the precipice and step out in faith. Because failure is not an option.
