About the Book
Book: Terra
Author: Sofia Simpson
Genre: Young Adult Christian Fantasy
Release Date: February 14, 2023
Elementals don’t mix. They fight over territories constantly and news of their battles is everywhere.
Vela, an Earth Elemental, wants two things: to make it through high school and one day run her very own flower shop. When Linc, a Fire Elemental, strolls into her life, she is immediately thrown into chaos when a bond flares up, connecting them forever. Linc pursues her relentlessly, for connections like this are rare, but Vela wants nothing to do with it or him.
With this news, Vela discovers she and Linc may be a part of an age-old prophecy that could change their world forever by uniting the warring clans. However, a powerful group does not want their pairing to exist, for if it does, the prophecy may come true.
Vela and Linc must keep their bond a secret, for their lives are at risk if it is made public.
Can Vela deny a bond that could unite the battling clans, finally providing peace after centuries of conflict? Will she allow herself to love an enemy?

My Review:
It's a life-long struggle for some; why bad things happen to "good" people. It's hard, this free will of ours. That's part of the theme of this story. It's advertised as a clean enemies-to-lovers book, and that's true. It was a clean read, and lovers might be taking that a bit far. The mix of Christian and fantasy was nice. I did have a hard time with Vela, but this is a two-book series. I really did like the great conversation about faith and God, life and getting through it and a lot of forgiveness. I think this was a good YA read.

About the Author
Sofia grew up moving constantly. Never in one place more than three years, there was plenty of time to daydream during long car rides. College finally gave her a chance to study what she had always dreamed of doing, writing her stories.
She obtained a B.A. in Journalism, married her handsome husband and had two amazing sons. She’s also the proud mother of a 100-pound red rust Doberman who loves to chase around his sister, a fluffy-not-fat-cat.
A big believer in dreaming big, Sofia loves speaking to youth, encouraging them to find hope no matter what their life looks like. Sofia is a daughter of the Lord first and foremost and finds inspiration with stories like King David and Esther.
More from Sofia
I became a Young Adult Christian Fantasy Author so that I could add clean content to the world of Young Adult books. I love writing a great love story, and here’s one that will meet all your expectations of a great enemies-to-lovers romance without the spice. I love writing a story that mixes faith with fantasy, much like Morgan Busse, Nadine Brandes and Sara Ella. And if you’re wondering if the butterfly on the cover has any significance at all? Why, yes, yes it does. Read Terra to find out why.
