The Brick Wall

About the Book

Young Princess Kayla was loved by all. She lived in a beautiful and magical land called Carpathia, where the men and women lived in harmony with nature. One day, while out exploring the verdant forests of her homeland with her favorite wolf, Shadow, she met a bricklayer’s son named Manole. The two quickly became the best of friends, and as they grew older, their friendship grew into a love that bound them together for all time. When it was time for Kayla to become queen of her land, Manole joined her as king, and everyone rejoiced at the bright future to come. But then tragedy struck the peaceful kingdom. Kayla and Manole turned to each other for strength and hope. As her kingdom faded, another rose from a completely new world in a different dimension. In this other land, a young girl named Viorica heard tales of a beautiful young queen, her king, and her devoted wolf. Without any warning, she found herself living in the story she loved so much, as part of the real world of Kayla’s kingdom. The magical and wondrous adventures of Kayla, Manole, and Viorica have been told throughout the years in Carpathia. But to this day, no one knows if they were just fairy tales—or a true story.
