The rift between man and beast is growing deeper. Skye's ancestors were brought to life by an ancient spirit under the light of a blood moon. Her father commands a legion of vengeful shapeshifters, the Lìog Airgid, in their fight against an entity that seeks to eliminate them from the face of the earth. As time grows short and hope becomes sparse, Skye must learn the truth. For only the spirits have the means to end the centuries-old war and bring balance between shapeshifters and humankind.

Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Beautiful world building and you cannot help but root for the characters. Lovely read." - S.A. Krishnan, author of Imperfect Li(v)es ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Spiritborne is a fantasy that will delight all ages. This world is realistic in every way it could be. I highly recommend the read." - Sue A. Hart, author of Challenges: The Foresters ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This book was a powerful, thrilling addition to the young adult fantasy genre. Wilson does an amazing job of starting with the action and the complex and interesting main character Skye is immediately thrown into a rich world populated with Lycans, shapeshifters, and an evil Covenant. But even with all the action, Wilson understands how to write the soft, tender moments that really make stories shine." - Juliette L. Dunn, author of Gateway

Great Story
K.V. Wilson outlines a world so vividly with her writing, that it took my breath away. The words she uses to describe her characters and the world in which they live, are totally refreshing and hooked me into her story from the very first page. Her descriptions are deep and filled with a power that kept me reading long into the night. This story in a type and shadow of the prejudice we have faced upon this planet for thousands of years. Social standing, ethnic origin, the color of our skin, sexual orientation and a million others that people all over the world have to deal with on a daily basis. Only in this case, it's being a Lycan. I enjoyed the Skye Matthews character progression as she grew from oblivious to her recognition of who she truly was and the power she held within herself. If you are looking for a book to read that should be made into a movie, Spiritborne is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!

Spiritborne is an insightful novel with a realistic narrative and a steady pace of urgency, action, and character development. This tale of Lycan mythology covers a great underlying battle of not only good vs evil, but also man vs nature. The main character, Skye, has a likeable evolution that makes her easy to cheer for. Overall, a great read... looking forward to the continuation of the series!

This book was awesome. It checked all the boxes for me. Her editing was amazing. Her character description was on point. Skye is a normal teenage girl and then she wakes up and one morning she is not. She can shape shift. She doesn't get to learn much about it or embrace it because there is a war going on between her kind and humans that want them gone. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Definitely would read and recommend to others!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great YA urban fantasy with Lycans and shapeshifters
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2021

A great YA urban fantasy with healthy doses of action sprinkled with humor, mystery/intrigue, and romance. The descriptions of the wilds are beautifully rendered where you feel you are in Canada or England. Although Skye herself got on my nerves every now and then, the characters are endearing and realistic--you understand their goals and root them on.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a fun, emotional, and fast paced read that holds a great lesson.

This is a great book about a girl, Skye Matthews, learning who she really is—a Lycan—and becoming more, and it all begins with her mother being kidnapped. There's tons of action and emotion packed into the book. The conflict between different kinds of people—in this case, humans vs Lycans and shapeshiters—in my opinion, is highlighted, showing that there are no real winners when hatred is held between them. There are losers on all side.

Anyway, I highly recommend this book. It's a fun, emotional, and fast paced read that holds a great lesson.

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2018

I enjoyed this dramatic tale of shape-shifting, wolf culture, and battle. The "evil" had moments of humanity and the heroine wasn't perfect, a facet that fantasy writers sometimes forget. I liked that the different factions tried to work out some issues without killing everyone. And I liked that there could easily be a sequel.
The plot was nicely put together and well written. Great job, K.V.!

Spiritborne follows the coming of age of Skye Matthews. After learning of the lycan roots her family has hidden from her for most of her life, she's thrust into the midst of the fight for survival. She must join with other lycans and shapeshifters--the Yeva'si--to save her people from a misguided group of humans called the Covenant.

There is so much to love about this book. Skye's growth from the start to the finish is excellent. She is faced with huge responsibilities and decisions and comes into her role beautifully. The supporting characters are vivid and memorable. My favorite was Sejka. Finally, her mythology is interesting and unique. I look forward to the following books!

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024
(No spoilers)
This Young Adult book is about a girl named Skye who is thrust into a centuries old war between a secret puritanical army, and her kind: Lycans. The book is full of well-written and vivid descriptions of the world she has created and the well thought- out details she drew helped me to become immersed in her world.
I’m never good with categorising the right genre, but I think it falls under fantasy adventure, although there is a lot of Acton and also lots of Supernatural atmosphere that brings it to life. Wilson does a great job of using the imagery to the advantage of her story, and has conjured up very vibrant scenes.
This was a fun read for me, and wanted to keep going for the rest of the series. The story never dragged - the pace is very brisk - and the writing has a potent lyricism about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a werewolf story
Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2019

I was introduced to this novel on a free platform and loved it so much, I purchased a copy from Amazon.

K.V. Wilson keeps the reader hooked from the very beginning, both with conflict and heartbreak, and I would recommend it to readers across genres. It is a coming-of-age story with a paranormal twist. Skye discovers not only who she is, but where she came from and what she is capable of. As she overcomes the obstacles thrown her way and deals with loss of massive proportions, Skye grabs at your heartstrings and doesn't let go. I can't wait to read the sequels!

4.0 out of 5 stars Shapeshifters and Werewolves Against the Inquisition
Reviewed in Germany on October 9, 2019

Man v Nature. The Covenant v Werewolves (Lycans) and Shapeshifters (Yeva’si). Skye Matthews experiences blackouts. They’re the beginning of a new phase of her life, a secret and dangerous phase. It takes her through her local urban landscape through secret portals to the world of Lycans and shapeshifters. In her everyday world, the Covenant reigns and wages war against everything not quite human. A tale of growing into a foreordained fate, Wilson puts emphasis on the obstacles a young woman must face. It doesn’t help that nobody has revealed this inheritance to her. It’s an interesting fact that there are parallels to the Spanish inquisition in the Covenant’s attitude to everything ‘heretic’.

I thoroughly enjoyed this well-crafted tale. The characters are convincing and the plot leads the reader on an absorbing journey through city and countryside. The descriptions of the natural world are stunning and it's obvious that the author has a strong connection with nature. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.
