Blurb from book I. " The sword of Light."

 

"Clouds of powdery snow drifted across the frozen land like bands of golden gossamer as the morning sun rose over Glen Orchy.

Amanda lay awake, gazing at the crystalline ice flowers that had covered her window overnight. Soon she would have to get out of her cosy bed to help her grandmother prepare the food for the inn's early guests. Today will be the first market day after Hogmanay, and the inn would be crowded with travelling tradesman, farmers and people from the surrounding villages and hamlets. Amanda eagerly looked forward to, the latest news and juicy gossip but most of all, to the visit of her best friends.

It is going to be a fantastic day; she thought as she closed her eyes, hoping she could remain in bed a bit longer.

Little did she know that the news she longed to hear would shatter her life and replace the feeling of tranquillity with fear and tribulation. Soon, very soon, she would learn that her very survival depended on her friends' loyalty, the ability to fight and the help from beings she believed to only exist in myths and legends.
