Flight. Hyperspeed. Clairvoyance.
These are some of the powers gifted to the Rhodi, an ancient sect
of assassins who defend Crescentia, a dystopian world with a dying hope.
Dyliana Fairsson is one of them. After losing her parents to a
suspicious accident, she and her twin brother, Devin, join the Rhodi to avoid
starvation. Under the direction of her master, Dylan struggles to learn the
strength of her magic …as well as hide the growing scars on her wrists. Can
Dylan become the warrior, the hero, she’s destined to be? Or is she fated to
fall from the light into the darkness?
The first installment in the epic fantasy series by bestselling
author Megan Linski, Rhodi’s Light is an action-packed thrill
ride that will leave readers begging for more.
My Review:
After losing
their parents Dyliana “Dylan” Fairsson and her twin brother Devin in an
accident they find themselves homeless and getting by with any means afforded
to them. Until the day they are caught by a couple of Rhodi, who are also
twins, Talidin and his sister Tavana. After some consideration Talidin and
Tavana decide that Dylan and Devin are worth saving and take them in so they
can train them to be Rhodi like them.
All their
lives Dylan and Devin’s parents have kept them on the road and in hiding. Their
parents never told them why or who they were running from or why it was so
important for them to stay hidden. They never had friends growing up because
they never stayed in one place long enough.
Devin loves
his new life with all his new friends and gives it everything he has. He wants
nothing more than to please his masters and to do that he must excel in his
training and in school. Dylan on the other hand is a different story. While she
is very grateful to Talidin and Tavana for taking them in and giving them a
place to lay their heads at night and food in their belly’s she is not giving
her training or schooling her all.
Dylan has a
lot of stuff going on in her head. She blames herself for the accident that
they were in that killed her parents. Dylan just doesn’t care about life or
anything else at the moment. She has no room in her heart and head for all the
sadness and hurt that is filling it up. Until she can release some of the guilt
and pain in her heart and forgive her self then there will be no room for
anything else. Besides all the suffering that Dylan is going through she has to
worry about the Hunter’s Guild finding them.
I have
really and truly loved reading Dylan’s story and following along with her on
her journeys. I can relate to Dylan on certain levels and sort of know what she
is going through and how she feels. I love that Dylan has so many people that
care about her that will help her get through it all. She has friends and a new
family that cares about her and will do anything to keep her safe. Rhodi’s
Light has been an amazing journey and has taken us down so many different roads
with lots of twist and turns that will keep you hanging on for more. And now I
can’t wait to start the next book Rhodi’s Rising to see where Dylan, Devin,
Talidin and Tavana take us on next. I hope to see you there.

Forced into
hiding.
Desperate to
find their masters.
In the past
few months since the attack on their home, twin assassins Dylan and Devin have
grown restless. With the Rhodi facing extinction, they search for their masters
Talidin and Tavana, only to discover they’ve gone missing. With nowhere to
turn, the twins seek help from a pair of mysterious spies, only to find the
trail gone cold, marked by hints of torture and destruction.
Dylan and
Devin piece together the events that led to the disappearance of their fellow
Rhodi. As their enemies close in for the kill, Dylan discovers that some things
are impossible for a Rhodi…but not for a tigress.
The stakes
and romance are heightened in this epic dystopian sequel to Rhodi’s Light.
Bestselling author Megan Linski brings readers a young adult fantasy with
magic, mystery, and an epic adventure that races quickly to a breathless
conclusion.
My Review:
When their
Aunt and Uncle find them at the home of the Rhodi where they were staying after
they lost their parents in an accident Dylan and Devin are forced to go live
with them. Dylan and Devin do not want to leave their Masters Talidin and
Tavana. Talidin has become like a father to Dylan. There is a bond between
master and student that no one can break. The master will give his or her life
for their student to keep them safe.
After their
new home is attacked by the Hunter’s Guild and their Aunt and Uncle are taken
captive. Dylan and Devin along with their cousin Tristen have nowhere to go
except back home with their Masters. On their way back home they meet a very
nice family with a boy about their age and a little girl whom they all become
fast friends with.
When their
Masters Talidin and Tavana come up missing Dylan, Devin, Enfys and Jenna go
with them back to their home to help them find Talidin and Tavana. Enfys and
Jenna are Searchers who can find out anything you would what to know or need to
know.
Talidin and
Tavana are very lucky that they have such caring and dedicating students as
Dylan and Devin that will not let anything get in the way of them finding their
masters and bringing them home. Dylan and Devin are very lucky to have such
wonderful and amazing friends as they have in Enfys, Jenna, Tito and Tristen to
help them with their mission of rescuing their masters.
I have
enjoyed following along with Dylan and Devin on their journey of finding
Talidin and Tavana. Sometimes they make you laugh but then sometimes they make
you cry. Dylan and Devin will take you on some bumpy roads but in the end the
ride will usually level out. Dylan and Devin have some pretty amazing and fun
friends.
Can Dylan
and Devin find Talidin and Tavana before it is too late? Can they stop the war
between the Hunter’s Guild and the Rhodi before more people are tortured and
killed? To find out all the answers pick your copy today!

Cities burn.
Governments fall.
Lives are lost in a desperate
war...one the Rhodi are losing.
The world has been devastated
by the tyranny of the Red Huntress. To save Crescentia, Dylan and Devin attempt
to decipher the mystery of the ancient letter their ancestors left behind, the
only hope of salvation for their kind. Dylan continues to fight foes both on
the battlefield and within her own mind, all while wrestling with the confused
feelings she has for Enfys, the alluring spy who has become devoted to her
cause.
In the epic conclusion to the
thrilling Rhodi Saga, one brave warrior will stand in the way of corruption, to
take place before her destiny…or her death.
Rhodi’s Lullaby is the third
installment in the suspenseful young adult dystopian series fans and critics
are calling an original masterpiece in the epic fantasy genre.
Rhodi’s Light and Rhodi
Rising are also available. Catch up on the entire series today!
My Review:
Dylan and
Devin are back home after rescuing their masters from the Hunter’s Guild where
their leader and Queen the Red Huntress Rachael was holding them captive.
Rachael wants nothing more than to take over Crescentia and make all the people
her slaves. She also wants to use the Rhodians as well for her own proposes. The
Rhodians was created to help people and keep them safe and they will fight to
the death to keep the people of Crescentia out of the hands of the Hunter’s
Guild.
Dylan has
had a hard life and hurts herself sometimes. Each time she does it and she is
caught she says she is not going to do it again. But with war hanging over their
heads and the stress that goes with it hurting herself is the only way that she
can handle it and make the hurt go away. Dylan thinks no one cares about her or
wants her around even though Talidin, Devin Enfys, Tavana, Tito and Jenna are
always showing her and telling her differently.
Enfys has
feelings for Dylan and wants their relationship to be more than just friends
but Dylan is afraid with the war hanging over their heads that if she gets
involved with Enfys that she will hurt him or she could lose him and it would
break her heart if she allowed herself to love him and then she lost him.
I have
really and truly loved following along with Dylan, Devin, Talidin, Tavana,
Enfys, Jenna and Tito while they fought Rachael and the Hunter’s Guild. There were
times while I was reading Rhodi’s Lullaby that I would find myself crying
because I was happy and sometimes because I was sad.
I have
enjoyed reading all three books in The Rhodi Saga and hope to read more. I am
not sure which book of the three books I liked the best but if I had to choose
I think it would probably be Rhodi’s Lullaby. The Rhodi’s Saga is going to be
with me for a long time to come. I think I may take a piece of The Rhodi’s Saga
with me always.
