Rescue Mom. Handle The Prophesied Power.
And Don’t Fall in Love.
Sure. No Problem at All.

Pero Moshe’s mom vanished from their Oregon home, and the prophecy says it will happen to Pero, too. But when it does—and Pero is transported to an older universe, life gets more than a little nuts.

Throw in a bodyguard who is almost criminally cute, a corrupt and brilliant doctor who wants to steal Pero’s power and rule all of Moon City, and her mom showing up as a pawn in the whole thing. And all Pero wants is to grab her mom and go home.

But, uh, yeah, that’s not happening.

In the end, Pero is forced to choose between forgiveness or escaping with those she loves before a shout crumbles Moon City’s walls to pieces. And both choices come at a cost she’s not sure she’s willing to pay.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Brimming with adventure and intrigue, The King's Feather is an out-of-this world journey of faith, loss, and redemption. A story to savor and an author to watch!"
~Author Tara Johnson

"This is biblical retelling at its best." ~Author Kandi J. Wyatt

"Amy Earls has penned a thrilling portal fantasy. Readers will love this clever biblical retelling that reveals timeless truths with a fantastical flourish." ~Author Karen Grunst

"[The King's Feather] combines fantasy elements with faith material in an unforced way. The Old Testament allusions add depth and interest to the story." ~Writer's Edge review

"I know bookworms shouldn't have favorite books, but this one is the best I've ever read." ~Violet, teen blogger

"The King's Feather transported me into an ancient, otherworldly universe full of mystery, suspense, and non-stop adventure." ~Jannette Fuller, blogger

"The skill of a Christian author really shines through when they are able to convey a message through character action, emotion, and exceptionally well-implemented symbolism instead of outright telling us. Lately, I've only found the heavy-handed latter but Earls changed that streak, and I'm blissfully happy for it." ~Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite 5 Star Review

"Pero is a loveable character." ~5 star Goodreads review

"Wow! I was captured and taken on a ride like never before!" ~MF Literary Works

I enjoyed this fantasy with Biblical twist
I want to say I really enjoyed this book. The world building is simple but imaginative and done well for the story itself. The characters were well developed and definitely curious to see thier on going journey coming back to the earth. I absolutely the chapters when Jesus meets two girls in the woods. The conversation and how He helps them and provides food and fire to stay warm. The story focuses on faith, trust, and work together as a team. Even when things don't make sense at first. I will definitely read the sequel!

I’m a fan of her books now! I can’t wait to finish this one and get book 2. I love the mystery and romance. Then to tie it to bible stories and God is just perfection. This is a must read!

I picked this book up about a year ago, at the recommendation of a friend, but wasn't in the mood to try it until this week. I really enjoyed it - great characters, unpredictable plot twists, great interactions between the teenaged characters, relevant themes - Who am I? Where did I come from? Where I am going? Does God care about me? The scriptural foundation is well done too.

I was thankful to find out I'd put off reading the book long enough that the sequel had just come out! However, the last book in the trilogy isn't coming out for another year. They're so closely tied together, you may want to wait until you can read them all at once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure-filled and inspirational!

The King's Feather was a page-turning fantasy thriller that was difficult to put down! The author writes with vivid descriptions. I was easily pulled into Pero's adventures through portals, forests, and the tall strong walls of Moon City to find her mom. Not only does Pero find her mom, but also finds herself, falls in love twice, and accidently helps uncover the future king of the Lesarie people.

The King's Feather leaves one to wonder if life is simply ordinary, or if there is more purpose waiting to be discovered perhaps in another dimension we can only reach in a vision, or with a necklace, in Pero's case. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next one!

Epic saga. If you wanted a light little adventure, you’ll change your mind! There is plenty to dig into in this first of a series. Characters are well developed, but don’t expect them to be hand fed to you. You’ll get to know them as the story progresses. Full of twists and turns, you’ll have a hard time knowing who to trust. Characters develop and grow. First impressions can quickly change with eye opening revelations. Expect the story to call you back if you have to set the book down. It is easy to rush through, eager to see what happens next, but you may miss things in the details. I got even more out of it the second time I read it!

“You’re under my wing.”
“Elohim’s voice rang calm yet deep, peaceful yet dangerous. I closed my eyes and imagined that an eagle flew into that very room. The eagle paused time. The eagle opened his wing. I ran there and felt his warm, soft feathers. Like a pillow to sink into. He closed his wing over me. The walls would fall, but I wouldn’t fear. I was the King’s feather, and I found safety under His wings.”

This story is loosely based on the Jericho account in the OT. We have the city and we have the people who march around the city 7 times. We have an evil ruler of the city who has made a slave out of our leading lady's mother. We have necklaces in the shape of the feather that the evil ruler believes hold unlimited power and he wants them, but not all is at it seems.

I was a bit disappointed at one bit of information, but am told by the author to hold my horses, that could change! Woohoo! I was also incredibly touched by a scene in the book where someone who seemed hopelessly lost meets Jesus and the love He shows her in this scene brought me to tears. Very well written!

I got turned around sometimes because, as I said, this is loosely based on Jericho and I kept trying to make it fit into the Jericho of the OT. Just read it for the fantasy that it is and not the similarities, but keep moving forward.

I really enjoyed it and can't wait for book 2!

Amy Earl’s debut fantasy richly develops her world, so that you feel that you can see it, smell it, walk in it with Pero. Even though that seventeen-year-old protagonist can see another planet in the sky, she doesn’t believe what her friendly guard tells her about life on it. That is, until she is swept there by her family’s ancient enemy, Dr. Calvin Carper.

For Pero is one of the Chosen.

She wrestles throughout the story with what “chosen” means, how it impacts her choices. Her mentor explains, “You can’t escape Elohim’s plan for you, Pero.” That’s exactly what I wanted to do. “What if I did escape?” He smiled. “Then He’d bring you back.”

Elohim gradually shows Pero she dwells under his wings.

This sheltered teen encounters things she never dreamed could exist while trying to resolve being abandoned, abducted, deceived. And which magnetic suitor should she trust? In her conflicts, she discovers that every person matters. There are no accessory characters who can be deleted without consequence in real life.

The King’s Feather does not make light of personal trauma as many romantic novels tend to do. I love it that Pero’s grief was not simply forgotten over time; the idea of “just get over it” has no place in this novel.

Amy Earls has woven an enigmatic storyline, laced with questions about the walls within, the walls without, and the power of personal symbols. I enjoyed the invitation to plunge deeper into the story, though I found myself having to reread descriptions of actions in several places where I could not follow what she was saying. I ended up feeling a bit frustrated, with more questions than answers about the backstory and some events. I wanted to know more!

The author’s ending note is beautiful, and I enjoyed the discussion questions at the end. I think The King’s Feather is an interesting book for YA fantasy readers to discuss.

I’m looking forward to Amy Earls’ future writings!

Not being a young adult, or someone who reads a lot of fiction books, I was surprised by my thorough enjoyment of this book. It's a bit sci-fi mixed with a healthy dose of morality (or spirituality) that will likely appeal to a very wide audience and especially for younger readers who want a lot of action. The writing is amazingly vivid (think all 5 senses) and it is action packed enough to be a movie, so you won't be bored at any point. Plus, the characters are all well developed and relatable, which makes them fun to follow along through all the twists and turns.

I look forward to the next book in this series and am glad it will be out soon!

After Pero's mother was stolen away when Pero was a child, she led a very sheltered life to save her from the same fate - only to succumb regardless on her 17th birthday. Now in a world she doesn't understand, she's doing her best to save her mother while baulking the man who captured them both in his plan to take over the world. But when it comes down to it, she may need to be willing to let go of her own hopes and plans and forgive the man who is responsible for wrecking her life if she is to have any chance of success...

I'm not quite sure what I thought about this book. I think my overall feeling is that the concept was interesting but the execution wasn't what I expected.

Pros:
- The writing was good and held my interest
- I liked the idea of a Biblical retelling in a fantasy world
- The message about the need for forgiveness was woven into the story nicely

Cons:
- I felt like the Biblical retelling was very much background to the main story - incidental rather than really part of the story
- I didn't feel like I had a good grasp of the two worlds, how they fitted together and how one moved between them. In fact, at times it felt like no one did...
- Okay, this is probably my problem rather than a real 'con', but I'm not a fan of love triangles. I like to know who to root for, and this story left me feeling rather lost at times in that respect
- I didn't appreciate the introduction of the Trinity somewhere it doesn't belong (I see the author's point of view, but I disagree)
- The ending didn't feel like it actually resolved anything much

Would I read more by the author? Probably - the writing was good, as mentioned, and the concepts interesting. But I haven't decided whether I want to continue with this particular series.

3.5 stars.
