The Assembly controls Kalaya. Originally set up to govern, they now persecute those with magic and exile them to the Turrak Mountains. Tei, a tailor’s daughter, has always hidden her magic but when her father’s old friend visits and warns them to flee to the mountains she must leave her old life behind. On the journey, an attack leaves her father mortally wounded. He entrusts her into the care of the exiles and on his deathbed makes a shocking confession.
Tei joins the exiles search for their new Sentinel - the only person capable of restoring the fading magic. But mysterious Masked Riders are hunting the Sentinel too, and time, as well as hope, is running out. Against mounting odds it will take friendship, heartache and sacrifice to succeed, but is Tei willing to risk everything she loves to save the island magic?
If you like multi dimensional characters in vibrant worlds, then you’ll love The Lost Sentinel - Book 1 in the Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy.

'With all the intricate world building, interesting characters and epic journey they all partake in, this book had me glued to it from the first page. As soon as I finished it, I was making a grab for book two to see what happened next!

About the author

Suzanne lives in Middlesex, England with her husband, two children and a crazy puppy.
Her writing journey began at the age of twelve when she completed her first novel. She discovered the fantasy genre in her late teens and has never looked back. Giving up work to raise a family gave Suzanne the impetus to take her attempts at novel writing beyond the first draft, and she is lucky enough to have a husband who supports her dream - even if he does occasionally hint that she might think about getting a proper job one day.
Now an author of four novels including the recently completed Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy and a Czech translation of her debut, Visions of Zarua, Suzanne hopes the dreaded ‘W’ word will never rear its ugly head again!
She loves gardening and has a Hebe (shrub) fetish. She enjoys cooking with ingredients from the garden and regularly feeds unsuspecting guests vegetable-based cakes.
Suzanne collects books, is interested in history and enjoys wandering around castles and old ruins whilst being immersed in the past. She likes to combine her love of nature and photography on family walks, but most of all she loves to escape with a great film, binge watch TV shows, or soak in a hot bubble bath with an ice cream and a book.

Tei and her father arrive in Turak, a village in the mountains and obviously her life is turned on it's head. She has a visit from the Elders who give her the task of finding a new sentinel for her island and it's people before it and they die. This sends Tei, Rike and Garrick on another journey in which she has to find the sentinel and get return them to the island will they be able to do this before time runs out?
A story in which the authors world building is exceptional, I was immersed in Tei's story from beginning to end and the characters were fantastically developed. I thought Rike and Garrick were great! The fantasy world with the quest for Tei kept me gripped and I needed to know what would happen before I stopped listening. I plan to read the next book in the series as soon as I am able.
Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and Suzanne Rogerson for my audio version of 'The Lost Sentinel'.
But then I seemed to lose my connection with Tei. On reflection I think my interest was piqued more by secondary characters’ arcs, such as Brogan and Captain Ferrell. I also have a personal preference for female protagonists to take control and Tei spent a considerable proportion of the story plagued by a lack of confidence in her ability to connect on the astral plane with the Sentinel. Once her strength began to come across later in the story, I became more interested in her again and inwardly cheered her on as she began to believe in herself.
I found Rogerson to be adept at taking the reader along different character arcs without causing confusion, as each made an impression on me. I savoured my journey to the island of Kalaya as the rich description had me visualising the scenes with ease.
Moving on to the narration, George Ellington’s gentle Gaelic accent helped create the immersive experience of listening to the story rather than reading it. I was able to keep up with who was talking due to his slight changes in pitch and dialect too. My one critique would be the sound effects, such as swords clanging or a couple of seconds of fire crackling; I felt Rogerson’s writing and George’s narration would have been enough to give me those impressions without them being added but I know some people prefer sound effects.
Overall I thought the story and world were well constructed, the characters well defined and the narration complimentary to the essence of the tale. I’m giving The Lost Sentinel 3.5/5 stars and recommend it to those who enjoy fantasy sagas with a historical feel.
