Click the following link to read the STAFF OF STRISON by @emilycarlucci
'In a world full of elves, dragons, pirates, and magic, Amara and Kari are always facing a challenge. Things only get worse when the Empress raids the slums of Wadnu to "purify" the realm and get rid of the poor -- and now the duo may have to keep more secrets than they can handle.
After several encounters that prove Amara and Kari are not as they seem, they are burdened with a quest: "To find the Staff of Strison, infused with the spirit of a hero, before the Empress's reign is over."
Will Amara and Kari be able to find the Staff before the Empress's reign is over? Or will the world turn to chaos?
Staff of Strison is a book in which folklore and modern fantasy intertwine, and the true meanings of friendship, betrayal, and magic are shown. Find out if Amara will do whatever it takes to be a hero -- with some unexpected twists, of course.'
