"We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay."
----Lynda Jean Barry, an American cartoonist and author
Leslye Penelope, an American author, pens her debut YA fantasy book, Song of Blood & Stone that happens to be the first book in the Earthsinger Chronicles series. This book is set in an enchanting parallel universe where a young black woman tries to save her kingdom with her magical powers despite of all those discrimination about her skin color. It is basically an interracial love story which is torn between war and responsibilities towards one's kingdom.
