throne, having remained unclaimed for over a century and a half, had been
unsuccessfully sought by many throughout those tumultuous years. When Carling

chosen one. A sweet girl, from a humble background, she is overwhelmed by
this revelation as she is presented with a quest; complete a magical breastplate

magnificent shield.

remaining focused on her calling. Despite doubts from those in the
village where she has grown up she is steadfast in her quest to complete the
tasks set before her. Joined by a delightfully eclectic group of friends,

for over a century. This captivating book will enchant readers with tales
of adventure, excitement, humor, and hints of a pending romance. The
