Anyway, Bryn has to teach all of this to Linus, so the reader is also informed. A Changeling is a troll-born child who is placed within a human family as a baby to be retrieved (by a Tracker) as a teenager so they might return to their troll parents–along with their trust-fund, which finances the larger troll tribe (Phew!).
Linus is Bryn’s latest Changeling charge. Don’t worry, if you haven’t read the Trylle series, all of this is explained in the book through the character Linus.
Some have gills to help them breathe under water, others have telekinesis, and others have sensing abilities (internal GPS) and skin that can change with moods or surroundings. These trolls look like people, but have special abilities. But these aren’t Tolkien trolls like in The Lord of the Rings. The Kanin are a troll tribe (in the same world as the Trylle troll tribe). It debunks the fantasy of sparks flying at first site or touch (like many YA romances). Similarly, Bryn and Ridley’s relationship is based off of a friendship that grows. The switch gave the relationship a more genuine feel, because it built over time, compared to a love-at-first-site story. In fact, that was one of the first YA books I read that switched the main love interest half way through the series. I thought Hocking created an interesting world, and realistic relationships. I read the series a few years ago and remember liking it. Bryn loved him once, but now he's kidnapping Kanin children - stealing them from hidden placements within human families.If you’ve read Amanda Hocking’s Trylle trilogy, Frostfire will sound familiar. But her plans are put on hold when fallen hero Konstantin starts acting dangerously. And Bryn's vowed that nothing will stand in her way, not even a forbidden romance with her boss, Ridley Dresden. She has just one goal to get ahead: to join the elite guard protecting the Kanin royal family.
Bryn's almost-human community distrusts people, and those from other tribes are almost as suspect. But as a half-blood, winning respect is a huge challenge. Will she give up her dream to follow her heart? Bryn Aven is determined to gain status amongst the Kanin, the most powerful of the hidden tribes. Here Amanda Hocking returns to the world of her million-copy bestselling Trylle trilogy, with an all-new series. This is the stunning first installment in a tale of love, betrayal and the need to belong.
