Life changes, but what if everything you ever believed turned out to be a lie? With every goodness taken away from her, how will Kialessa find herself in a cruel and distant world? Or will she finally discover for herself what it was that her father would never speak of when he told the old stories of 'the lands beyond the mountains'… "I loved this book. It was very mysterious and the battle scene at the end was intense, so I had to keep reading to see how it would end! The plot unfolds like a jigsaw puzzle where you don't know what the complete picture is until it's finished. It's great to have such a strong and clever girl as the main character, … I hope there will be more books about Kialessa to follow as I want to know what happens next!" - Sophie, aged 11. Impressive that you wrote it. I'm like, 'Wow, so talented'! - Emily.
