Summary: When Marya’s parents are slain by the serpent for their belief in a legendary king, she becomes an outcast. Struggling to survive and avoid the vengeance of the Tribunal, Marya is torn between legend and the harsh reality of the Island. Yet when a forgotten promise springs to life, she cannot help wondering if the old stories might in fact be true. And if they are, will the promise prove stronger than the curse?
Violence and gore: Almost every single fantasy book will have violence and gore, because there are swords, and people are stabbed. In this world, there is a sea monster (the parallel of Satan) that eats people, and it shows a couple of deaths from the monster.
Morals: This is a great allegory of our sin and redemption. The sea monster is meant to represent Satan, he devours his enemy’s followers and turns everyone else against his enemy. At the end, Jesus comes and dies for everyone, but rises again and has rescued everyone from the sea monster.
Neutral, 6-8 years old, fantasy
