Would you choose to live in a beautiful prison?

As the princess of Valmar, Gwendolyn lives in an island kingdom filled with lush forests, ancient castles, and magical beasts. What twelve-year old girl wouldn’t want to dwell in such a place? Gwendolyn herself . . . for the island is also her prison. Conquered by an evil sorcerer-king named Skoll, she and her people must struggle to pay him tribute even as he plots her family’s destruction.

However, when she learns that she is heir to a strange, ancestral magic, everything begins to change. Accompanied by Aethelred, her younger brother, Gwendolyn sets out to forge an unlikely alliance with a hostile race of giants and reclaim her people’s freedom. Along the way, she discovers a “peculiar treasure” that lies at the heart of Valmar’s problems—but one that could also be its salvation.

After reading my kids many fairy tales, I started making up some of my own. These grew into two (going on three) books about a land called Valmar where a boy and a girl discover just how beautiful and dreadful life can be. This is an excerpt from the first of these books. The book is currently available on Amazon and will soon be available on iBooks. Hope you enjoy the beginning of the adventure!
