Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. I am SO excited about sharing this week’s First Line Friday with you all! I’m not typically a fan of science fiction or space operas (I haven’t even watched Star Wars!), but I’ve had the privilege of reading Ronie Kendig’s Brand of Light, which releases on Tuesday, 3 December, and It. Is. The. Bomb! I can’t even begin to tell you all the emotions tearing through me at the end of this book. Can anyone say, “How long until the second book comes out?”
Seriously, even if you’ve never picked up a sci-fi book in your life, don’t let that stop you from diving in with this one. Especially if you’re already a fan of Ronie Kendig. Review to come next week!
About the Book
After a catastrophic explosion, Kersei Dragoumis awakens in a derelict shuttle, alone, injured, and ignorant of the forbidden technology that has swept her into a nightmare. The brand she’s borne since childhood burns mysteriously, but the pain is nothing to that when she learns her family is dead and she is accused of their murders.
Across the quadrants, Marco Dusan responds to the call of a holy order—not to join them, but to seek a bounty. Gifted—or cursed—with abilities that mark him a Kynigos, a tracker sworn to bring interplanetary fugitives to justice, Marco discovers this particular bounty has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with prophecy. One that involves the hunter as much as the hunted.

Today on my blog I’m sharing the first line from On My Honour by Elizabeth Johns. I’m at the 72% mark in the book, so I’ll share another line here.
“Meg had to do something.”
Happy reading! 🙂❤📖
My first line is from When I Close My Eyes by Elizabeth Musser :
October, 2015 Friday
The lady came out of the book store- it was all decorated for Halloween, all sizes and colors of pumpkins making faces at me from where .i watched across Haywood Street in downtown Asheville.
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Ruby Jane: The Montana Marshalls” by Susan May Warren:
Prologue: “Aw, York just knew this would happen.”

This week on my blog I shared the first line from Wings Like a Dove by Camille Eide. It’s what I’m reading right now so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (9) here: “Anna greeted her students Monday morning with a cheer she did not feel.” Have a great weekend and happy reading!
