**In the Depths of Despair, Rebellion Takes Flight.**R. A. Lingenfelter invites you into a world beyond the imaginable in 'End of Crows.' Graced with the coveted 2022 Readers' Favorite International Gold Medal in Young Adult Adventure, 2023 Cadmus Book Awards, 2024 American Legacy Book Award for Epic Adventure and finalist in Fantasy and 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. 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
