Survivor. Mother. Leader.

Audrey struggles to adapt to life after surviving the attack on the Institute. Living on the run with her twins, she manages to stay ahead of their pursuers--barely. Fate comes calling when Audrey is asked to interrogate a prisoner of war, and the woman reveals the Order Audrey has been fighting to restore was never truly gone in the first place. They've spent the last sixty years under the heel of a man named Zaddicus, withering away in captivity.

The Seeker's numbers are down and planning a rescue mission is daunting at best, but Audrey’s determined to let nothing distract her. Not her babies. Not their father, Ace. And especially not Hound, the tainted Seeker she marked with her intimately protective magic. Before it’s all said and done, Audrey will have to face the hard truth that sometimes you must choose between your duty, your family, and yourself.

Fantasy and science fiction have been my lifeblood since I was too young to stay up and watch the complete episode of Star Trek: Voyager. I have several fandoms that I follow with varying amounts of rabid foaming, but it's all in good fun most of the time. If I had to pick a favorite, The Princess Bride is right at the top, well, at least as of the writing of this bio.

Aside from writing, I am also a classically trained violinist. I have a few students I teach weekly, and I really enjoy working with them. I also crochet, play D&D with friends, and, of course, read my little heart out. I have a small menagerie I manage with my husband here at home including three dogs, two cats, and six chickens. If you ever get the opportunity to keep chickens, I highly recommend them. They're a lot more entertaining than you might expect.

Some of my favorite authors include J.R. Ward, R.A. Salvatore, Anne McCaffrey, Tad Williams, Mercedes Lackey, Jean Auel, and Sherwood Smith, to name a few.

Riveting, Emotional Follow-Up

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2020

If The Seekers was a coming-of-age tale, then its follow-up, Order of the Lily, is all about what it means to be of age -- and the ugliness and beauty within. Whereas Audrey faced metaphorical adolescence in the first book, the second book is where she, in a sense, reaches adulthood, stepping up to make difficult decisions.

For much of the book, those decisions are the typical sort for dystopian fiction. There's a coordinated rescue, uneasy alliances, and Audrey finally being honest with herself about who she loves. All this while she's dealing with being a mother of twins and still handling the pressure of being what amounts to this timeline's Chosen One.

But then there's the end... and an impossible choice that goes far beyond genre convention of "will they/won't they?" and "who will the heroine be with?"

Again, Cait Ashwood carries a deft pen. Her prose is simultaneously easy to read and powerful; so many in this genre go so overboard with the prose that reading becomes a chore, because they spend so much on the prose that they forget what really matters. But Ashwood continues to keep the characters, their feelings and thoughts and motivations, at the forefront. Epic does not have to mean hard to read, and Order of the Lily is a perfect example of that.

Order of the Lily is every bit a worthy follow-up to The Seekers, and one would be hard-pressed to finish this one and not immediately clamor for the next installment. Dystopia and fantasy readers alike need this series.

Fast Exciting Fantasy

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017

Order of the Lily book 2 is an outstanding continuation from the first book. It jumps right back into the fray from the beginning. I think this one is even better than the first book because the mystery of what has been happening to the Chosen and Seekers is finally falling into place in a wild and interesting way. Audrey finds how unique she is and the importance of the Order and their healing ways. The villains are revealed and surprises abound in this book. I couldn't put this one down.

The whole premise of this story is very different and interesting. The world needs healers to bring it back to life and make it thrive again. It is a book of new beginnings from new growth for food, new stations in life for some of the characters, births taking place and making the society stronger. Audrey has grown with all she faces and responsibilities she now has to protect everyone. I was glad to see Hound back and with Audrey. There are many twists and turns in this story but in trying to preserve the Order and Seekers the sacrifice Aubrey and Ace has to make broke my heart. Audrey really at that moment became a true leader sacrificing for the greater good.

This book though a fantasy still has elements of romance, love, acceptance, and courage. I enjoyed this book and the end leaves it unfinished and open for more adventure.

If you like a good action packed read this one is it, even if you don't usually read fantasy

Moving Forward

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2017

Audrey is determined to rescue the women being held prisoner by a demented enemy. She wants to be part of this mission, but caring for her twins is tiring. To add to her stress her relationship with their father, Ace, is strained. Her heart is drawn to Hound. Will she and this Seeker ever be together? I was drawn to Audrey. She's a charismatic character. She has a strong personality and a burning desire to do good. Hound has lost so much that he's afraid to take a chance. I wanted him to take a risk. The setting is perfect for this dramatic story. I'm enjoying this series. I care about the characters and the suspenseful storyline. I need to know what happens next. Just be aware that Order Of The Lily ends with a cliffhanger.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

Great Second Book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2017

The Order of the Lily is a strong follow up to The Seekers, and in fact, I liked it better. The pace of the novel was excellent and I don’t think there was a single section where I didn’t want to know what was going to happen next. It was difficult to put down.
It was enjoyable seeing Audrey shed some of the doubt she had in the first book and fully step into her role as First Leaf. The Hound, although his usual brooding self for most of the novel, shows he can also grow and change as their world is changing around them. I was highly entertained by the antics of Zeche and hope he gets his own story someday.
I am looking forward to the adventures of Audrey and her family in the next book. I am very curious to see how the lives of Audrey’s children play out in a world she has redefined.

Order of the Lily by Cait Ashwood
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Order of the Lily is book 2 in Cait Ashwood's fantasy series. It continues that story of Audrey and the Seekers who work together to rescue a group of women with unique talents for cleansing the tainted earth and growing plants to feed the starving people of their time.
Order of the Lily is an excellent read. The dystopian genre is incredibly popular and I've found it to be a little repetitive. Ashwood's take on a dystopian future is unique and enjoyable. It is great to find new ideas in the much loved genre. Fantasy lovers will enjoy the unique story and the wonderful writing style. I really enjoyed this book and I am definitely looking forward to more from Cait Ashwood!

Don't Miss Out On This Sequel!

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2017

The sequel to 'The Seekers' continues to carry us along, not only with Audrey's journey in this future, but other characters as well. We meet some new folks, and re-visit others, and it's a wonderful, funny, heart-breaking {at times} awesome ride. We learn a lot about the Chosen that we never knew. For parents, or those easily upset, Chapter 30 can be a VERY difficult read, but it's still amazing. I am anxiously awaiting the next episode to find out what happens to my beloved Hound, and all the others I've come to know and love or hate! If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would.
