I wanted to participate in this tour because of the beautiful cover. Then I read about the story and thought, how cool, I love elves and fairies.
Keeper of Reign
Books written in blood. Most are lost, their Keepers with them. A curse that befell a people. A Kingdom with no King. Life couldn’t get more harrowing for the Elfies, a blend of Elves and Fairies. Or for sixteen-year-old Jules Blaze. Or could it?
For Jules, the heir of a Keeper, no less, suspects his family hides a forgotten secret. It was bad enough that his people, the Elfies of Reign, triggered a curse which reduced the entire inhabitants to a mere inch centuries ago. All because of one Keeper who failed his purpose. Even the King’s Ancient Books, did not help ward off that anathema.
Now, Gehzurolle, the evil lord, and his armies of Scorpents, seem bent on destroying Jules and his family. Why? Gehzurolle’s agents hunt for Jules as he journeys into enemy land to find the truth. Truth that could save him and his family, and possibly even reverse the age-long curse. Provided Jules doesn’t get himself killed first.

Ten things you didn’t know about the Elfies and the characters in Reign.
Did you know that:
1. Jules was supposed to be named Jewels because his parents had thought they were going to have a girl? So, he actually hates his own name…poor guy.
2. In some ways you can say there are many Whisperers living in our society, in this day and age. Scary, right? Whisperer is the nay-sayer, the fear giver and rumor mongerer, the Doubt Monster. He comes to you in your dreams and in many guises…listen… had that negative thought? Ahh! Whisperer might just be next to you.
3.Tippy’s real name is Toepee because she has such large toes.
4.Tst Tst, the girl with the unpronounceable name, loves big words because she hasn’t found a word as difficult to pronounce as her own name.
5.When Ralston sleeps in the forest it’s hard to tell him apart from the forest elements about him–he’s such a sound sleeper and he blends with his sleeping environment.
6. The Elfies only eat natural food they cull from the forest, and they hardly eat meat except for fish and other fish products but what they really relish is frog’s meat–except the frog is bigger than they are, so it’s like the stone age people trying to catch a mammoth.
7.Honey is one of the Elfies’ staple which is probably why they are so healthy as honey has natural anti-bacterial properties. Is it any wonder they hardly fall sick? And they eat all the different herb, too.
8.One bee tree can feed an entire Elfie nation for a whole year–there are benefits to being small.
9.The Elfies have Books of Remembrances where they keep all sorts of momentos and pictures, sort of like a cross between a scrap-book and a photo album and a memory box.
10.A long time ago when the Elfies were first created they actually had the ability to fly, but through disuse and having forgotten they could actually soar like eagles, the Elfies of today can just walk and run, and most are even afraid of heights, like Jules.

I love the ten list and hearing about all of the quirks the different characters have. It’s these kinds of things that make a book interesting.
I love to hear authors talking about their characters and themselves. Emma did a great job with it. Had me smiling and making me want to read the book.
Toepees because of her big toes. Too cute. I feel like I know these characters already!
LOL. Me too. I’m thinking this would be a fun read, in between the cringing and fear with the curse hanging over their heads. I love odd types of characters and creatures.
