The Collar and the Cavvarach: a Gripping Story of Slavery and the Struggle for Freedom (Krillonian Chronicles Book 1)

About The Collar and the Cavvarach: a Gripping Story of Slavery and the Struggle for Freedom (Krillonian Chronicles Book 1):

A collar that defines him as property. A weapon that could set his sister free.

Enslaved teen Bensin promised his mother on her deathbed that he would free his little sister from the horrors of slavery. But when an escape attempt fails, their owners separate them, and Bensin is sold—powerless to protect the sister who needs him.

His new owner, a martial arts coach, trains him to fight in tournaments. As Bensin’s skills sharpen, so does his desperation, knowing each wasted moment brings Ellie closer to danger. Every plan to save her requires money—something he doesn’t have. His only asset is his growing mastery of the cavvarach, the weapon that could be his key to her freedom—or the tool of his destruction.

When Bensin learns Ellie is about to be sold to a ruthless owner, his last hope to save her lies in the Grand Imperial, the empire’s most prestigious—and brutal—fighting tournament. But the best of the best compete there, and after another failed rescue attempt leaves him injured and exhausted, Bensin faces impossible odds. Can he overcome the empire’s most skilled martial artists and win his sister’s freedom before she disappears into a life of suffering and abuse?

Every day pushes Bensin to his limits as he struggles to survive in an environment designed to break him. The brutal system strips men of their identity, but Bensin refuses to be just another pawn in its deadly game. Defiance, however, comes at a high price. When he infuriates the authorities with his choices, he knows he will face a violent death. Can Bensin stand against the cruelty of the arena system and seize his freedom before that system crushes him?

All of the historical facts are true; the names of the characters are fictional.
Reviewed June 4, 2025
Format: Kindle Cristella
This story captivated me in so many ways. Was it true? It surely could have been. This whole story, beginning with Johan’s desire to be a farmer, to him leaving his homeland and travelling far from his roots to make America his home, touched my heart. I lived inside this inside these pages and I felt at home among this wonderful family who grew and expanded into many.
I cannot recommend this story enough for its display of courage, resilience, faith through loss, and endearing family love. This is a Christian story and one that displays what the strength of family standing together, is all about.

The Art of Overthinking by Ellen Zheng

The Art of Overthinking by Ellen Zheng

Isla Wu is fine.
Or, at least, that’s what she tells herself. She has friends, semi-supportive—albeit judgmental—tiger parents, and good grades, so why wouldn’t she be okay? Besides, anything other than “fine” is not suitable for an American-born Chinese girl with Ivy League dreams.
But still, the numbness claws at her.
Everything goes to crap when she spills coffee on a new guy (how meet-cute, NOT). Yet, as she starts to like him, everything she thought she once knew unravels until the numbness threatens to pull her under. Because when you’re at the top, the only way to go is down, and ignoring her problems or feelings doesn’t help anyone.
Maybe Isla Wu is not fine.
Set in the backdrop of New York City and immersed in the academically elite high school culture, “The Art of Overthinking” is a celebration of the ties that bond us and a love letter to mental health.
*Fans of “How It Feels to Float” by Helena Fox, “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” by Jenny Han, and “Every Last Word,” by Tamara Ireland Stone will enjoy THE ART OF OVERTHINKING.

Callasandra Fractured

About Callasandra Fractured:

Callasandra Fractured

Cassi Dyson (16) has just witnessed her Quantum Physicist father’s kidnapping. Before being knocked unconscious, he yells an odd phrase for Cassi to tell her mother, Olivia. Frightened, she runs home and bolts through the door, shouting his message to her mother. Within minutes, Cassi, her twin sister Haley, and their mother have smashed cell phones, filled backpacks with personal belongings, and left their home forever.

At a secret hideaway, with soft piano music playing in the background, Cassi’s mother shares that David had discovered a pathway to another dimension. Upon learning his employer planned to present his findings to the military, their father began corrupting his data. It is for this reason, Cassi’s mother believes he was kidnapped.

Months later, in Hardwick, Vermont, Cassi is startled awake in the middle of the night and discovers the trunk of a tree newly growing through the living room next to a sleeping older gentleman named Mr. Phelps (Bed & Breakfast guest). Adrenaline coursing through her veins, Cassi runs upstairs to her mother and sister’s room. Finding it empty, Cassi gathers her things, opens the front door to leave, and is shocked to see the landscape has completely changed. A dimensional fracture has occurred, and Cassi finds herself alone in a place called Cimerrion.

As Cassi searches for her mother and sister, she meets Sergeant Leonard (a sadistic military officer skilled in torturous interrogations). He is tasked to use whatever means necessary to root out the Disunited, people transported into Cimerrion from another dimension. A prophecy, written by a co-author of the constitution, states, “Beware the miscreants of Hardwick who work to disunite and appropriate the power we have known all our lives. Our control of Cimerrion hangs in the balance of the twin fates of our destiny.” It is from this prophecy the Disunited are considered to be the greatest threat to Cimerrion.

Sergeant Leonard takes Cassi to a military-style compound where she is assigned to The Camp, a sector where 16-year olds are educated. Here, Joren (16, charismatic, likes puns) introduces himself, “Hey, Sixteen! Name’s Joren”. Following her mother’s advice to trust no one, Cassi introduces herself as Callasandra. It does not take long for Joren to determine she is a Disunited. In private, Joren explains the government uses cameras and microphones to monitor everyone, explicitly looking for the Disunited and anyone who helps them.

Joren later introduces Cassi to Marissa (mid-30s, Disunited, renowned singer and Entertainer). It will be revealed (non-graphically) that Entertainers are forced by the government to ‘entertain’ high-paying citizens. Marissa is also a high-ranking member of the Antistasi (resistance group) and uses her world-famous Entertainer status to disrupt government-run service stations. Cassi learns from Marissa (verbally/non-graphically) that service stations travel around the country with young women forced into ‘entertainment’ (contributing trillions of dollars to the economy). With intel gleaned from Marissa’s experiences with elite members of the military and government, the Antistasi locates the service stations, frees the young women, and moves them into a concealed location called the Meridian.

[It is important to note that throughout this story, the nature of sexual exploitation is only alluded to and does not go into detail beyond the notion of being a government-controlled entertainer program. This part of the story was inspired by my personal jury duty experience, where a young woman was kidnapped and forced into prostitution until being saved by a team of professionals with a mission to put an end to this real-life issue.]

During a dinner meeting with Marissa, Cassi and Joren observe Marissa entering a numeric code into a music box – music begins playing throughout the room. Cassi learns Marissa’s team has hacked into the regional monitoring system, muffling their conversations and enabling them to speak freely (frequently occurs throughout the story). During the discussion, Cassi learns she will be interrogated by Sergeant Leonard.

After surviving the interrogation, Cassi is told she’s been selected for Cimerrion’s 2-year Entertainer Training Program. Assigned to shadow Marissa during one of her Entertainer experiences, Cassi is horrified to learn Sergeant Leonard has won the Swan Dive Package with Marissa. To keep them safe, Marissa adds a tranquilizing, amnesia-causing drug to his celebratory champagne, but the dose is not strong enough to subdue him, and a near-death battle ensues.

After Marissa and Cassi eventually incapacitate Sergeant Leonard, Cassi tells Marissa about telepathic conversations she and Haley have been having. (Haley and Olivia are in another dimension called Aramanthia). With this information, the Antistasi believes Cassi and Haley may be the twin fates the prophecy refers to and creates a plan to move Cassi to the Meridian.

The plan goes sideways when Cassi is recognized by Mr. Phelps. She narrowly escapes with Marissa and Joren, and as telepathically planned, Cassi and Haley go to the house in Hardwick (in each dimension). Unexpectedly a portal appears, and they are able to see each other. Suddenly, they hear Sergeant Leonard’s truck roar toward them. Marissa screams for Joren to run as she drives away. Fearful for Joren, Cassi grabs his hand while taking hold of Haley’s, and together they step through the portal into Aramanthia.

In Aramanthia, an enamored Joren steps toward Haley and says, “Hey, Sixteen! Name’s Joren.”

End of crows

About End of crows:

Hello Readers,
R.A. Lingenfelter invites you into a world beyond the imaginable in ‘End of Crows.’ Graced with the coveted 2022 Reader’s Choice International Gold Medal in Young Adult Adventure, this gripping tale redefines the traditional battlegrounds of human survival.
Picture a dystopian future, devoid of freedom, where our every movement is dictated by an insatiable Dominion. High school joys as simple as proms, dances, and boyfriends are distant fairy tales for our protagonist, Willow. However, where humanity is oppressed, resistance is born. Nestled within the rugged Colorado Mountains lies a faction of rebels, known simply as the Crows.
In this thrilling, heart-stopping saga, Willow embarks on a dangerous journey of defiance and determination. She finds herself amidst the Crows, the last beacon of rebellion, striving to safeguard the last vestige of human dignity from the Dominion’s iron fist. ‘End of Crows’ expounds on the indomitable human spirit that refuses to bow down, even in the grimmest of times, encapsulating the battle between freedom and oppression, hope and despair, survival and surrender.
I invite you to join Willow in her fight for freedom, to live and to love. ‘End of Crows’ is a riveting, inspiring adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat, questioning who holds the real power—the oppressor or the oppressed?
Welcome to the future, welcome to the ‘End of Crows.
“The comparisons of Willow to Katniss Everdeen of Hunger Games fame are clearly evident as Willow’s talent as a fighter and her determination to win come to the surface. Without training of any kind, she displays great skill in the use of a variety of weapons as well as her bare hands. But, Willow possesses more than these physical abilities and as the story unfolds, her supernatural gifts become more evident and specific to the plotlines. Also like Collins, R.A. Lingenfelter writes tight, straight-to-the-point sentences and paragraphs that propel the reader through each event and scene without undue and unnecessary detail. In particular, Lingenfelter’s ability to build characters simultaneously to the ever-increasing tension of the primary plotline is evidenced by her multiple appearances at the top of Amazon’s bestseller lists. End of Crows, while standing on its own, is also the perfect lead novel in the four-book series. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy fast-paced action/adventure stories with hints of the supernatural and powerful lead characters like Willow!” ~Reader’s Favorite Review
“It’s an excellent comparison to make between the willfulness of teenage rebellion and the passionate but desperate nature of a freedom fighter’s rebellion, and R.A. Lingenfelter doesn’t waste an ounce of the concept’s potential in this exciting and tense story of acceptance and the will to fight back. I adored the world-building on show on every page with the Dominion being a constant source of low-level anxiety between run-ins in exactly the way that living under a regime of that nature would be. I particularly enjoyed how for much of the story they were able to be a threat despite not being physically present, such was the terror invoked by the idea of the Dominion that even discussion of them became intimidating. End of Crows is an outstanding work of dystopian fiction that captures both the oppressive nature of living under a hostile regime as well as the spark of resistance that lies in people no matter how much they fear for their lives.” ~Reader’s Favorite Review
“End of Crows by R.A. Lingenfelter is such a compelling story that, despite it being set in a dystopian future, is incredibly relatable. R.A. Lingenfelter structured the story in a way that immediately draws you in and keeps you captivated to the very end. Mentioning the seventeen-year plan at the very start of the story was a genius move that right away made me eager to know more and the way the details were gradually revealed kept me intrigued all the way. Amidst all the challenges and the struggles the Crows faced at the hands of the Dominion, there was hope and there was love and that is what made End of Crows such an amazing read. End of Crows is the perfect introduction to R.A. Lingenfelter’s Small Sacrifices series and I cannot wait to read the next book in the Trilogy.” ~ Reader’s Favorite Review
