This book brought many elements we read in different books. You had fantasy, steampunk and romance. You can say that the whole book is busy. There is so much happening that you do get lost at times. I did enjoy the parts I truly understood that I wasn't overwhelm with. This book I believe will be liked by the older crowd and even guys.
The main characters are Ash and Scar. Ash meets Scar and falls in love with her very fast you can say. They set off on this journey that find them in several predicaments. Scar is not human but grows in acting very human like. Ash also learns to embrace his abilities.
Summary: (from fantastic fiction) For as long as he can remember, Asher has possessed unexplainable abilities, which his widowed father has forced him to keep hidden. But when an elusive girl named Scar enters his village, Asher's life is forever transformed.
Bound by despair, the teens plot to run away. However, when a mystical medallion finds its way into Asher's hands, they soon learn that running is not an option, it's imperative. Asher is thrust into the pursuit of a legendary treasure, believed to possess the power to save the world from the prophesied apocalypse. And the key to unlocking this power lies within the secret of his curse.
While hunted by dark forces, Asher realizes that Scar has secrets of her own; she is not the girl he thought she was. Time is running out as he struggles to find the strength to let go of his feelings and summon the courage to embrace his destiny.
A chilling, heart-wrenching tale of colliding worlds and forbidden love, The Vynereinvents steampunk-fantasy for a whole new generation
