Across the Darkling Sea is the first book in the new serial fantasy series Magicfall, by K. Ferrin!
Magic is forbidden in Brielle, but that never stopped Evelyn. Until Now. Because Evelyn has discovered she is magic, and now she is running for her life.
Her only hope is on an island cloaked in shadow, an island of dark magic and even darker beasts. An island warlocks call home.
Evelyn’s friends have turned against her, her own mother tried to kill her, and the place she calls home has banished her. Hidden away in the belly of a riverboat, a stowaway, her journey begins.

Across the Darkling Sea is book one in a serial series. Each book is roughly 50,000 words or about 150 pages. To emphasize, this is a serial series, meaning it’s one story that stretches across multiple books.
My Review:
Evelyn lives in a small town where magic is illegal and this
makes her very curious about it so one day she sneaks a little bit of magic
into the town. When she is caught the whole town including her mom and dad want
to kill her. She is rescued by the witch in their town. The witch tells Evelyn
a story about a man coming to town a long time ago that used his magic on her and
explains to Evelyn who she really is and about the curse this man placed upon
her and her family.
So with everyone wanting to kill her Evelyn or now Ling as
she wants to be called and with nowhere to go decides to set out to find this
man and get him to remove this curse or for a way to break it. On her journey
Ling meets some good people and some not so good people and some downright mean
and awful people who take advantage of her in more ways than one.
Ling has to cross the Darkling Sea to reach her destination
so she stows away on ships but she finally finds a captain that is willing to
help her out and give her a ride on her ship across the Darkling Sea. Ling
finds a few people on this ship willing to help her out but she must be very
careful because some of these people may not be what they seem or portraying
and may just stab her in the back. After all of her harrowing experiences she
has no idea who to trust.
Across the Darkling Sea has been an amazing journey. I loved
their journey across the Darkling Sea it was magical and so awesome. I would
like to have seen Ling use her magic on her own but maybe we will see her come
into her magic in future books. Or at least I hope she has magic and she doesn’t
know how to use it yet maybe.
If you like to read magical books then I think you would
truly enjoy Across the Darkling Sea. Come join Ling on her journey Across the
Darkling Sea.
