About the Book
Book: Torch
Author: R.J. Anderson
Genre: Christian YA Fantasy
Release date: February 9, 2021
How do you fight fire without fire?
When a freak storm uncovers the entrance to a mysterious underground chamber, Ivy and Martin expect to find treasure. But what they discover is even more valuable: a barrow full of sleeping spriggans, magically preserved for centuries. With the vengeful piskey queen Betony determined to capture Ivy and her followers, the secret hideaway could be key to both their peoples’ survival.
But the piskeys and spriggans are ancient enemies, and when Ivy tries to make peace her own followers threaten to turn against her. Plagued by treachery, betrayal and desertion on every side, Ivy must find a way to unite the magical folk of Cornwall–or doom herself, Martin and everyone she loves to death at Betony’s hand.
Yet without the legendary fire-wielding power that marks a true piskey queen, can Ivy convince her people to believe?

"Torch" by R.J. Anderson is the third book in this series. I recommend reading all three in order together the entire story. All three books are about piskeys, faeries and spriggans. There is a war going on and Ivy has to save her people from destruction from her evil aunt.These books are about being fearful of others because they are different than us and believing rumors that are centuries old. These books show how working with others can accomplish more than believing and doing things as they have always been done.
