The Descendant of Alsornia
by
S.W. Gordon
In a world of knights, fairies, and druids, Susan's fate is sealed before she even knows it. On the eve of her 18th birthday, she begins to dream of a distant land where an old man shares strange tales of magic and destiny. As the visions grow stronger, Susan confides in her local priest, only to be accused of witchcraft. With her life at stake, she is saved at the last moment by a mysterious woman who whisks her away to the mystical land of her dreams. Here, Susan must train for a year in the arts of magic and combat, guided by legendary teachers, to prepare for a final battle against a demon threatening to tip the universe into chaos. As a unique mix of all the magical breeds, Susan holds the key to restoring balance--but only if she can defeat the demon during an eclipse, using powerful weapons and all the skills she's learned. The fate of both worlds now rests on her shoulders.
