What happens when a casteless girl becomes the centre of a city's deadliest game?
Trained as a spy since childhood, Issanka uses her powers over light and sound in service of the higher castes. A caste-less urchin herself, Issanka knows she must be careful never to get too involved in citizen business. But when the newly crowned King sends an army to tour the country, Issanka no longer has a choice. The journey will take her to a city of wealth and mystery, where the line between castes is no longer clear, and where Issanka must step out of the shadows if she is to survive.

'Well written and gripping from beginning to end. If you’re searching for magic, intrigue, excellent world-building and a protagonist who kicks butt then you’ve found the right book!’ Khaiah Thomson, author of the 'Blackwood' series
‘Davis has mastered the art of world-building by weaving clear and subtle description into the heart of the story’s action. With a compelling plot and a well-crafted power system, this fantastical world feels as real as our own. Beautiful descriptions and lyrical language grounds readers in a vivid world. Filled with multifaceted characters that are easy to empathise with. The notion of ‘found family’ is a core part of the novel considering the protagonist is an orphan. This is one of my favourite tropes to read, given the emotional warmth and excitement that infuses it. Making it even easier to fall into these characters’ arms is the dialogue, which comes out as fresh and natural from each characters’ lips. As a massive fantasy lover, I found Road to Freedom to be a thrilling story which adds to the genre in exciting ways. I particularly enjoyed reading and learning about the protagonist’s magical gift which draws from science in a unique way. With high stakes, bubbling tension, and loveable characters, this story is not one to miss.’ Maddi Clarke, Reviewer
‘Road to Freedom has everything a reader looks for in a grand saga. Filled with tension, intrigue and heartbreaking betrayal, this swiftly paced story propels the reader headlong into the uneasy world of Issanka, a girl gifted with a touch of magic and more than a touch of daring. When friends become enemies and enemies hint at mysteries yet to be solved, Issanka learns to trust only herself while the fate of an entire nation comes to rest in her hands. This a stellar first novel from Gabrielle Davis. I look forward to more.’ James Moloney, Author
'What a book. If you're looking for a fantasy book that is in the YA genre but with great, well developed characters that feel real this is for you!' Brent Clements, Goodreads
'It was wonderful to spend time in Gabrielle Davis’s masterfully created fantasy world. There were shady characters aplenty, and cleverly intertwined twisty surprises throughout.
Road to Freedom is beautifully written, brimming with luscious, descriptive language that made me feel like I was part of the story. Main character Issanka is likeable, strong and determined. It’s lovely to see these characteristics explored in a female protagonist.' Lorena Otes, Author
'Immersive, well-paced and utterly captivating, 'Road to Freedom' is a young adult fantasy masterpiece that will transport you to a unique world, featuring a brutal caste system and intriguing political conflict. Davis has woven a tale that is as rich in detail as it is thrilling in adventure, with a narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.' Sophie Sene, Goodreads
'Road to Freedom is a fantastic and compelling read that hooks you into its fantasy world with exciting characters and a story filled with mystery and intrigue that has you constantly second guessing character allegiances and motivations. It’s satisfying and yet leaves you wanting more right after turning over the last page.' David Booth, Goodreads

This rug is such good quality and makes me so happy every time I look at it. I'm using this one for a top cover over my bedspread. It's a perfect match for my room and linen. I have another that I use as a throw for the lounge and a picnic rug! In LOVE.

The postage was incredibly quick and the quality and colours far exceeded what I thought. The pics don't do them justice. Truly unique rugs that I doubt will date anytime soon. I would recommend - beautiful rug and great customer service.

My husband argued with me saying we didn’t need a new blanket. Once we received this one, he quickly changed his tune. It’s cozy, soft and warm. I love the design and boho vibe it adds to our home. High quality product at an affordable price.
