Feature Book of the Week
Rook
by
Sharon Cameron
Centuries after a shifting of the Earth's poles, the Sunken City that
was once Paris is in the grips of a revolution. All who oppose the new
regime are put to the blade, except for those who disappear from their
prison cells, a red-tipped rook feather left in their place. Is the
mysterious Red Rook a savior of the innocent or a criminal?
Meanwhile, across the sea in the Commonwealth, Sophia Bellamy's arranged marriage to the wealthy René Hasard is the last chance to save her family from ruin. But when the search for the Red Rook comes straight to her doorstep, Sophia discovers that her fiancé is not all he seems. Which is only fair, because neither is she.
As the Red Rook grows bolder and the stakes grow higher, Sophia and René find themselves locked in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse.

I live in: Nashville, Tennessee, born and raised.
My Former Life: I have been a classical piano teacher, full-time mom (unpaid), part-time genealogist (also unpaid, but what does that matter, right?), chair of a non-profit for a local theater group (wait, that’s unpaid, too!), and a coordinator of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators Midsouth Conference (guess I excelled at working for free!).

My life now: Still have my family, still coordinating that conference. I am also a writer. For this I get paid.

This book sounds full of science-fiction, and mystery. I am also excited to find out who the Red Rook is.
