Kelcie Murphy and the Hunt for the Heart of Danu by Erika Lewis & Bess Cozby digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Kelcie Murphy is back in another action-packed middle grade adventure, Kelcie Murphy and the Hunt for the Heart of Danu, the second book in Erika Lewis's magical series infused with Celtic mythology, The Academy for the Unbreakable Arts.

It’s hard having a father who’s an infamous traitor. It’s even harder having a mother who’s an omen of doom.

After a summer away, Kelcie Murphy is excited to be back at the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts. But she and her friends have barely settled in when they receive a visit from her mother—the war goddess, Nemain—with a warning of coming calamity.

The Heart of Danu, the legendary source of all light and warmth in the Lands of Summer, is going to be stolen. And only Kelcie and her mates can stop it. As they travel with the rest of the students to Summer City to take part in the glorious Ascension Ceremony, Kelcie has no time for the military parade, the lavish ball, or even to visit her father: she’s determined to protect the Heart and her new home.

But the Lands of Summer are still not a welcoming place for Kelcie. When disaster strikes, the Queen, the High Guard, and even some of her schoolmates suspect Kelcie is to blame.

As the world is plunged into darkness, Kelcie will have to decide: does she keep fighting for a place that may always see her as a traitor’s daughter, or for a future greater than the war to come.

Kelcie Murphy and the Hunt for the Heart of Danu Reviews

4.0
“This was my favorite so far.  The war between Winter and Summer Lands continues, and it has lasted so far many, many years, so many that people have already forgotten the main reason. Before anyone starts questioning the logic of these attacks and retallions and stops pointing fingers at each other to start communicating, Winter Lands sends a teen spy to the Summer Lands. The new character is cool and has her own POV. I liked her a lot. In the meanwhile, Kelcie is in recruiting mode, trying to bring more talented new students to the Academy. But is war the right path? Well written. Each character has a different goal, only to discover that there is more to their mission like misunderstandings, omissions, and lies that are discovered. And when we think the Summer Lands are finally condemned and there is no way out, Kelcie and her friends travel to the human world that acts as Switzerland to find an entrance into the Winter Lands. A new adventure starts. It's like 2 books in one. It was exciting, and the audiobook was also amazing. Some are trying to belong, others to prove themselves, but in the end, they are the same and understand each other. Not all have a resolution just yet. There are still some things that need to be solved in book 3.  Action-packed, filled with humor, awesome humor, many fantastical creatures, magic, fun characters, lots of characters, always on the move, high-stakes missions, love interest, new friendships, kindness, acceptance of differences, and team spirit of community.”
