Amagi
Author: Stephanie M. Sellers
Publisher: Golden Storyline Books
Cursed to live in a
lamppost, shapeshifter Ferly witnessed an orb stealing a man’s soul and taking
over his body, glasses, and his briefcase. After ten years, she escaped to
soldier up with ancient heroes to save the last surviving village from evilized
ants controlled by that same orbed human, Dr. Mikros, (unbeknownst to her) in
the world of Amagi.
Ferly was orphaned at
nine and she shapeshifted into a boy who quickly grew into a 16-year-old’s body
living at Mortuus Boarding School protected by a dome and fought soul-stealing
orbs, but when science teacher Dr. Mikros cast Ferly into purgatory as a lamppost,
she was separated from her “soulmate,” wound up in a metaxic state between life
and the afterlife as a preteen again and was not allowed to leave to find her
soulmate until she felt remorse for the “murders” she committed.
But wait! The gods need
someone with Ferly’s grit to lead ancient warriors to battle Dr. Mikros’
evilized ants before he rules planet Earth.
Grind your teeth when orbs discover Ferly is a human trapped in a lamppost. Try to catch Ferly as she/he shifts into a paper airplane. Laugh when former classmates discover him on the school roof trying to look cool as an anteater. Cry when Dr. Mikros’ mind-controlling lancet liver flukes infect her brain and change her antics into atrocities, even too appalling for war.
In the end, everything Ferly’s ever experienced served her mission to save the children in Mortuus Boarding School in the last surviving village.
Themes of fate, forgiveness, friendship, wartime ethics, sacrifice, oppression, transcendence, and even the significance of gender norms thread through this exciting story where Ferly began a quest to find her soulmate, found an entire covey of souls, and unveiled the mystery of her longtime missing uncle, Frank.
