Sunday's Book - Escape Affinities Book 1 #MFRWauthor #YA #fantasy #elements
In Affinities, Escape, a Books We Love Young Adult Fantasy, two sets of halfling twins, Ashlea, Brandien, Jaydren and Kylandra sent away from their home by their parents to protect them from trouble, search for mentors to teach them how to use their affinities. Each of these young teens has an affinity for one of the elements. Ash for Air, Bran for Water, Jay for Earth and Ky for Fire. During the escape, they face many problems forcing them to use their affinities by trial and error. They also meet Alizand, the son of the ruling prince of Wesren. Zand has an affinity for Fire and this will keep him from gaining the rule. Dom Senet, an advisor to his father, and once a friend of the quartet’s parents suspects Zand’s affinity. He wishes to corrupt the teen and use him to gain control of the four princedoms of the land and of the highlands. The evil dom has all four affinities. The four must reach a secret place and find teachers before the evil man discovers them

Thursday's Villains - 2 Step-brothers from Escape - Affinities Book 1 #MFRWauthor #fantasy
Lodar leaned forward. “On Summer Day, come with us and we’ll show you how a fete should be enjoyed.”
“Summer Day is a long time off.”
Mandir chuckled. “If you can ditch your shadow, you can come with us tomorrow night. We’ll introduce you to some of our friends.”
“Maybe we’ll chance on those scavengers and the urchin with the magic sword,” Lodar said.
The prince turned. “What do you mean by a magic sword?”
Mandir laughed. “’Twas some kind of trick. Fire spouted from the sword. ‘Twould be fun to have a weapon like that.”
Zedron grasped Mandir’s arm. “Where and when did you see this sword?”
Alizand glanced at Dom Senet. The man’s smile was one of self-satisfaction. He leaned forward.
Alizand wondered if the Dom read the winds. Alizand swallowed. Could Lodar and Mandir have seen Ky or was there a third flame sword in Cedris?
Mandir giggled. A trace of fear lay beneath his merriment. “When? Before Winter Day when scavengers are out in force. ‘Twas near the House Wesren compound.”
“Why didn’t you report this?” The prince’s voice was clipped and harsh.
Lodar laughed. “Do you want the toy, too?”
“’Tis not a toy.” Dom Senet rose and stalked toward the pair.
Mandir and Lodar pushed away from the table. Dom Senet reached them at the foot of the stairs. He placed one hand on each of their heads. Their bodies shook. Lodar screamed. “Don’t hurt me. Mother.”
Melena rose. “Who gave you leave to touch my sons?”
Dom Senet removed his hands. The pair collapsed on the steps. “I’ve learned what I need and they’ve not been harmed.”
Melena faced him. “Don’t touch them again. They’re not meat for your meddling.”
The Dom ignored her. “Zedron, what I’ve learned might help in my search for the missing ones.”
“Our search,” the prince said.
Alizand tried to make himself small. He wondered if there was a way to find his friends
and send a message. Maybe Dragen would know.
Lodar and Mandir paused partway up the steps. “Alizand, beware. Don’t be sorry.”
What did they mean? Were their words a threat or a warning? Why were they angry with him and not the Dom? Alizand reached for his goblet. He had to do something.
