The Nomad Schemers, (The Salted Series, Episode #17) by Aaron Galvin

Kellen is a Galdiator fighting for survival every day. He is a slave and winning is also a downfall for him. For each win, he becomes more valuable and risks being sold to even more horrible owners. Not knowing who he can trust he finds an old friend may be the answer, but at what cost? Life for Kellen is risky and dangerous a price he pays for living under the Salt.

Sydney is learning more of life as a Royal. Her Parents are constantly at odds with each other. They still are holding back (secrets) from her. She still feels torn between loyalties to her Mother and her father, whom she is just getting to know. She is worried about her missing friends and wants to find them. She is determined to find truth with her Parents and her missing friends.

The story moves at a fast pace told from alternating voices. Kellen is likable as well as Sydney. They each have their own problems. Sydney has an easier life, but still is in danger. Overall I found The Nomad Schemers, enjoyable, intense and emotionally charged. I highly recommend to those who love a great (dark) fantasy. ( )
