-Chrystal Grcevich, author of Waiting to Breathe
The glow itself seemed to be alive, breathing, spreading under the baby’s skin.
One question filled my mind Who is this child?
Tavi Malin is born facing the sun, filled with greater magic than any other sun-blessed child.
When Tavi turns fourteen, her magic awakens. Her uncontrollable, destructive power frightens those around her—almost as much as it terrifies Tavi herself.
Tavi and her friends train to use their gifts, unaware of the threat developing in a distant city. Dissidents have banded together, and they’re killing to attain gray magic, an ominous new force that breaks the rules of ordinary magic.
But to seize true power, the Grays must grow their ranks—and Tavi is a prize worth pursuing.
In a fight where confidence is as crucial as strength, even extraordinary gifts aren’t sufficient. If Tavi is to prevail against the Grays, she must find a courage that goes deeper than magic itself.
You’ll love the entrancing characters, relationships, and magic in this all-new fantasy world. Pick up The Complete Sun-Blessed Trilogy now!
Author Interview
What makes this new world unique?
In the Sun-Blessed Trilogy, the magical system is tied to childbirth. I love the miracle of birth, and tying magic to such an incredible event felt natural and appropriate. Some of the heroes in this series are midwives, who pass magic on to sun-blessed children and later train these same children to use their gifts.What audiences is the series appropriate for?
This trilogy is clean fantasy. There is no cursing, explicit sexual content, or gory violence. It’s appropriate for teen and adult audiences. I wanted to write a series my own kids could read, and I’m happy to provide an exciting, quality story that a wide variety of ages will enjoy.
Reading Order
- Facing the Sun, Facing the Gray, and Facing the Fire (all included in The Complete Sun-Blessed Trilogy Box Set) should be read in order.
- Birth of Magic is a prequel novella that may be read before or after the main trilogy.

Book 1
4.25 Stars
WOW!!
I’m so glad I waited for the trilogy to start listening to this!
It’s a magnificent masterpiece with unique world building, growing characters and deep cause and effects.
It’s meaningful, deep, and lingers long after you leave the world.
Relationships are forged, fringed, and rekindled.
The romance is sweet and you watch it truly grow from acquaintance, friendship, to more. No insta-love/lust. No love triangles.
The magic, the training, the explanations were enthralling and easy to follow.
It’s sprinkled with messages of self love and growing one’s self esteem and confidence. I’m excited for young girls to find this book and link the subtle values to provide strength and guidance to their chaotic worlds.
My few quirks included confusion about Misty, the older sister we meet in the prologue who disappears until over halfway through.
A few of the chapters time skipped ahead, but then it ‘recaps and tells us we missed’.
The world building was crazy incredibly fabulous, but the ‘mile markers and streets in the horse ridden world seemed ... odd.
But it IS a STELLAR fantasy adventure (the sci fi genre might be misleading) rooted deeply in their magic and religion. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this book.
Carol Beth Anderson narrated her book and it’s the icing on the cake! Characters have their own voices and she brilliantly added urgency as needed.
Book 2
4 Stars
A compelling sequel! Intricate character development through adverse heartbreak and impending malevolent series of events.
We meet new characters who are sweet and lively and add exuberance to the cast. They were easy to fall in love with - a little too easily?
Time skips are briefer but it still rewinds to explain ‘what was missed’.
The second book was very slow as Tavi works through her grief. She has an inner battle that is baffling. She wants to be a lone ranger yet she’s clueless. She doesn’t want to be with the team but her wallowing seems to blind her from the big picture. She was more of a pawn than a possible heroine, and it was disappointing.
The writing, plot, and characters are intriguing and the final book calls to me.
Book 3
3 Stars
As the trilogy comes to a conclusion, I realize I enjoyed the book but wish there was more. Not more like another book, but more like more details and relationship building (or destroying).
We are introduced to more characters as the Resistance grows. It’s good to see Tavi struggles and makes her own decisions regarding her trust/mistrust of the Greys in her circle. But I feel like it was too much at times.
Tavi certainly should have sought help at the Healing House (Why was the Healing House brought up so many times, yet never really played a viable role - only offscreen with a parent?) as she is still grieving over the death from the first chapters in book 2? It (the death) really started to feel like The Death was it’s own character and it became annoying.
I thought the Colonel and the gardener would have a more central role when we followed them at the beginning... but then they disappeared until the climax. Nice tie - in, but it felt too contrived and instead of a HOORAY, it was like waves lapping at my toes.
I didn’t like that the author kept all of her cards to herself and didn’t trust the readers to draw their conclusions, true or false.
I think readers may enjoy this more if they don’t desire a book where they are included in the ride, but go along for the ride. There’s still more telling than showing and backtracking to explain ... and the caverns - what a total loss of description opportunity. - The trilogy is phenomenal; I read it in two weeks! The characters and Carol Beth Anderson's intriguing story line drew me in. I went through every range of emotion with the trilogy, from beginning to end. The creativity was fantastic, and I had that wonderful feeling of experiencing being immersed so much in the story, that it was hard to let go and realize I was finished! Absolutely a must-read!
- I really enjoyed this series, and love how new and original it is! Strong characters, unique magic system, compelling plot and story, this series has all the things I look for in a fantasy series, and I'm excited to see one that's not afraid to try new things. This series is unlike any I've read before, and I look forward to reading more from this author!
- This series was so good. All of the characters were well developed and easy to fall in love with. The story moved quickly and had a new surprise around every corner. My kids have started reading it and are both in love. It’s a great story to read both adult and young adult.
- But, couldn't get past the first 4 chapters. The audio is read by the author and she sounds to be in her 70's with a gravelly voice. Couldn't take the narration for more then 20 minutes.
- This series had excitement, laughter, familial love and battles and showed the true friendship between school mates. My favorite is the battle against evil and how it plays out. I highly recommend it. It’s a good clean read
- As an eager reader of young adult fiction and fantasy novels, I highly recommend this trilogy. The story is set in a somewhat familiar world with some magical twists, charming and intriguing characters that will grab a hold of your heart, and a number of action-filled, edge of your seat plot developments! I would read this to/with my almost-8-year old but the trilogy would easily delight & hold the attention of a teen/adult reader!
- I really enjoyed reading the Sun-Blessed Trilogy. I loved learning about each character and what there Blessed Gift was. And how that character used there gift.
