An unlikely heroine faces impossible odds. A healer longs for adventure. Magic and mayhem collide in this award-winning epic fantasy adventure. Turn your soul Toward Mother Moon, Let the demons Fall behind you … When Marrington Castle falls to a dark and ancient evil, I find myself in the impossible position of protecting Queen Rebekah. Me—a simple girl caught in the chaos of a kingdom on the brink of ruin. With a healer by my side, I set out across the continent, searching for the lost artifacts that could awaken a legendary warrior. But we’re not the only ones hunting them. An army of monsters is closing in, and time is slipping through our fingers. Raging waterfalls, pitch-black caves, and treacherous mountain cliffs stand between me and my mission. Each challenge tests my strength, my courage, and my very soul. The more I fight, the more my resolve hardens—I must summon The Avant Champion. But the cost may be more than I can bear. How far am I willing to go? What sacrifices must I make? The fate of the kingdom rests in my hands, and one wrong choice could doom us all to eternal darkness. *** "I loved this great classic style fantasy, action, adventure, a bit of romance....
