About the Book
Long ago, confusion seized the common folk as magickal creatures wreaked havoc upon their world by introducing magick the people did not understand. Kingdoms were torn apart as evil wizards took over. Now, the peaceable people with delicate magick are being hunted and drained of their powers. They must bring down the imposing evil forces if they hope to restore peace and calm in their land.
The prince of the commoner's realm, Alexander of the North, thought he had escaped this darkness until the death of his mother made him a warrior-and a hero with a dark secret. Even worse, he's prone to making mistakes. Promising his sister, Victoria, that she would be the new princess of the West is his first mistake; the second is falling in love with Myst, a fair maid from a misty pool. But Myst is more than just a peasant and has power beyond those of the mighty wizard for whom she is an apprentice. When Myst sacrifices herself to save the kingdom from war, Alex gathers an incredible group of people to save her from the clutches of evil. But will Alex's powerful secret come back to haunt him? I was so taken in by Ms. Victoria's prose/storytelling abilities. I found in The Quest for Myst a riveting, captivating, banquet of a tale from an author with an imagination not of this world. To further the enjoyment, just when I thought it safe to sit back and relax in the read, she would drop these lines, these witty pearls of thinking author's humor. It is not often that I suggest books to others, but with The Quest for Myst you simply cannot go wrong. FW Bosworth, Author Never Play Leapfrog with a UnicornAbout the Author
Born and raised on a small farm in Ohio. I spent many days with loving parents and grandparents. As an only child, with many imaginary creatures, and thanks to my family upbringing, I never grew out of this imaginary world of wonder. I was always searching for perfection in myself. However, life goes on and I struggled many years trying to find that ?nitch? in my life. I married three times losing the last to cancer. So, after all those years of searching for that perfect love and that perfect job and never feeling like was one of the crowd, I decided to close down. It was then that I too became ill and slightly disabled, leaving me with the one thing that I knew I could do?write, with the flair of imagination. Therefore, here you have it, a ?young? widow, in college and dreaming my big dream. I will always remember my grandparents and their teaching me of the ole ways. I am still on that quest for that one man, that looks into my eyes and we both know that this is the love to end them all. I have met my many frogs and there must be a Prince amongst them somewhere. I still dream, hope and sometimes cry at the adventurous/romance scenes. Many things inspire me; music, paintings?just?anything! My true romance comes from writing fantasy escapes from my everyday life: striving on to prove that everyone can overcome their oppression and depression in their lives; as I now created the men of my dreams and the women I wished to be. I can put anyone in my books, my bullies; my lost loved ones, all now immortalized. I shall always be a hopeful romantic/adventuress in an overpowering world.
God walks beside me always.
