Book Description

While cleaning out the drawers of her recently deceased grandmother’s dresser, Anna Kippling finds a skeleton key that ironically only opens one door and from the wrong side. On the other side of the attic door instead of the small staircase that leads her back down to the second floor, Anna finds another world awaiting her. A world her grandmother calls Tatania amongst the other strange entries written by her in a journal found by Anna in an old steamer trunk inside of the attic.

After deciding to venture into this foreign land, Anna quickly finds herself in hostile territory. A Chancellor wants her dead and others believe she is the chosen one. Right at the start a grey eyed, blonde haired hunk named Hayden comes to her rescue, but he also sends Anna's stomach into knots and her knees trembling.

Amongst romance and the ominous threat of a Chancellor looming over her, Anna also finds herself fighting abnormally large birds, hiding in magical tree trunks, and eating magical beads, all as she tries to rescue an Empress. With a necklace of invisibility, a time turning bracelet and a dagger, this is still no easy task for her and Anna doesn’t need her newly acquired Book of Answers to tell her that either.

It seems in this world, nothing is ever simple here for Anna Kippling, but Anna is also slowly learning nothing is impossible either, not even for her. How far would you go to reach your potential and how much would you sacrifice for love? And… is it possible to outwit death?

After just finishing the trylle trilogy, I was looking for another fantasy series. I am happy to say I have found a great one. The characters are well crafted, and the story seems to draw you in rather quickly. After reading this one I can't wait to start on the next one! Bravo!

This book is a great read. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. I think by offering book 1 for free was a wise idea.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great start to a exciting series August 11, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I first want to admit that I know the author personally. However, that has not influence my opinion of this book. A.D. Duling is fresh faced and just getting her feet wet with this first offering, but has done the important work needed towards building a good series for her target audience. She has laid down a fine foundation in her story and has set about telling it in rich detail that leaves you wanting for the next page, and at books end, for the next in the series. We are sure to see our author grow in her story-telling skills, right along with our ongoing story. I can't wait and a little happy that I might just get an advanced peek!

I am very picky when it comes to who I read because I want to be immersed in the book and be able to visualize it. A.D. does this for me and I can see Anna on her quest. Read more

Quite often when you read YA fiction the heroine in the book is always getting saved, not so in the case of Anna Kipling. Read more

This is a great beginning to an epic adventure! My only reservation is the poor editing. I spent a lot of time rereading passages to figure out what the author meant to say!

More About the Author

Well hello there... my name is A.D. Duling... Ok, I don't exacly go by A.D., but I'm pretty confident it will take you at least three tries to guess my first name. Obviously I am an author. I call my self an author/writer because I love writing books. What I fill them with is the more fun! Magic, the paranormal, adventure and of course romance can be found within my chapters.

Sometimes its fun living in fantasy rather than reality, don't you agree?

When I'm not writing, I'm reading, taking care of my six kids (yes, that wasn't a typo) can say seven if you add my hubby,our three dogs,two cats and five guinea pigs. Whew!

So how did a gal like me get into writing? Well,I loved reading books about werewolves, vampires and every other supernatural creature, so of course I had to write about them too (not in that exact order of course). For now, I am what you would call an "Indie" author, I of many have adventured into the self-publishing world in order to share my imagination with you.

I love writing. I love creating the worlds in them and the stories within those worlds. What I love more than that,is sharing them with others in hopes to bring that same enjoyment I recieved by reading great books by other authors.

I appreciate your time in getting to know me and would love to connect with you. I am open to advice, comments and critiques from all my readers. I also appreciate your purchase of one or more of my books and encourage you to take more chances on other Indie authors.
