In collaboration with Pen\u00ednsula 360 Press, she presents us this Saturday with a text that has captivated her from beginning to end, encouraging her to continue with the saga that is still in progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToday\u2019s novel is a fantasy that also has romance, I love this mix because I think things turn out really well and I find them very funny,\u201d said Camilasbooks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keera is a young half-breed assassin, the King&#039;s Sword and thus the most ruthless spy in the entire kingdom, as well as the monarch&#039;s favorite. For years she has rigorously fulfilled the mission of eliminating anyone who endangers the peace of Elverath, the kingdom she protects, and no one has been able to escape her. Until now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As she searches for answers, Keera will be haunted by a promise she made long ago. To keep her word, she must free herself and, more importantly, save the entire kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Camilasbooks, at some point a person appears who is an opponent, a rebel who is against the king, and takes actions to rebel against the crown and go completely in opposition to the monarch, which makes Keera have to go out in search of this man who calls himself &quot;the shadow&quot; to kill him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her quest, the young assassin will cross the magical lands of the fae, trying to discern if her enemy is mortal, elf or half-breed, like her. With each step she will question who the true adversary is, the shadow that threatens peace or the king who destroyed her people and turned her into a heartless assassin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis fantasy world is very well constructed and it is very entertaining how everything works and how the author relates all the events. I am impressed with this story and I want to read the sequel because I had a great time and I swear I read a little every day and it has made me return to my reading habits and my reading habits of reading every day, even if it is just one chapter. It is incredible and it flies by.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to know more about this and other recommendations from Camilasbooks, don&#039;t miss her reviews every Saturday on Pen\u00ednsula 360 Press.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C-gRTpfxOME\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C-gRTpfxOME\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Peninsula 360 (@peninsula360press)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You may be interested in:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/the-foreigner\/\">\u201cThe Stranger\u201d: An exquisite narrative with a hopeless feeling<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Estamos en WhatsApp.\u00a0Empieza a seguirnos ahora] \u201cMi cuerpo est\u00e1 hecho de cicatrices; algunas me las infligieron, pero la mayor\u00eda me las hice yo misma\u201d.
