| Publisher Description: (4 out of 4 star at onlinebookclub.org) Princess Elliza and Prince Melkio grow up in rival kingdoms, where they are haunted by insecurity and struggle to repair crippled family relationships. Through an interplay of trials and adventures their paths cross and their futures become entwined. Both are destined to be great leaders, but each of them has choices to make. Can Elliza overcome her physical and emotional scars that bind her to a broken past? Will Melkio follow in the footsteps of his father or will he allow resentment to steer him down the wrong road? When all hope appears to have faded, how will they continue to press forward? This is a story of adventure and discovery, a fantasy tale depicting the classic conflict all young people must face as they engage in forging the person they will one day be. Which will triumph? Fear or Love? At its core is revealed the war that rages in all our hearts-that between good and evil. This story starts out at a gentle pace paving the foundation for the main characters, with a sprinkling of supernatural foreshadows, before accelerating to the fantastical ending. SGT Mark Jannetta completed the first draft of this book while on deployment to Afghanistan in 2013. It was inspired by his daughters and has been a work of passion in progress ever since. |
