Hi bookclubbers, and welcome to August! This month we’re reading a title from an Australian author based in the UK – P.M. Freestone. Her book SHADOWSCENT (the first in a duology) is a unique fantasy story in which perfume and scent-magic play a key role…

“In the empire of Aramtesh, scent has power.
When disaster strikes and the crown prince lies poisoned, long suppressed rivalries threaten to blow the empire apart. It’s up to a poor village girl with a talent for fragrances and the prince’s loyal bodyguard to find an antidote.
To succeed, the pair must uncover secrets – cryptic, ancient tales as well as buried truths from their own pasts – in an adventure that will ignite your senses…”
I have read this one already (and loved it!) and I can’t wait for you all to enjoy it. You can grab a copy of SHADOWSCENT through Boomerang Books and get free shipping with the ‘loveoz’ code. You can also find a digital copy of the book here.
And keep an eye out for our interview with P.M. Freestone later in the month! You can join us at the #LoveOzYAbookclub Facebook group page anytime, if you’d like to talk OzYA books – see you there!
