The Nine Realms, Records of Realms Book One
Waking in the Ice Realm with no recollection of who she is, why she was found, or what she wants, Centrea spends months learning secrets and stories that pit her against a rising King in the Southern Star Realm. Her only friends are misfits – her maid or Keeper, an old gossip, and her illustrious host, Rostair. During the Greentime Ball, the most important event of the Northern Realms, she waits with bated breath for Rostair to declare his affections. What happens changes her life forever.
Brooke Berry –
“Be brave. Be bold”. Robbins took her character’s advice and knocked it out of the park with this debut novel. And let me be clear, reading this did not feel like I was reading a self-published, debut novel. Robbins really flexed her ability to write prose in this story. There was clear, natural character development and her writing style was clearly her own in a way that felt refreshing. The world felt fully imagined despite the setting being kept in only one of the nine realms. I look forward to future books in this series as the realms are further explored. I’d love to rave about the plot or characters specifically but that would lead to spoilers.
