Zorianna, The Crystal Enchantress
by
Joan M. Miller
Fifteen-year-old Jessica Graves could barely contain her excitement. The school year was finally over, and she was returning once more to spend the summer at her Aunt Esmeralda’s comfortable old farmhouse. It’s been almost a year since Jessica’s last visit to the Magical Realms—an amazing world of fantasy that she discovered within the pages of a very old and very magical book in her aunt’s library—and she was looking forward to the new adventures that awaited her there. This time when she returns to the Magical Realms to visit her friends Jangova and Tadius, she is thrilled to meet their new baby, Prince Tamurn. But when the prince is kidnapped by an army of Dark Knights, Jessica learns that she must travel to the kingdom of Zorianna, the Crystal Enchantress to discover where the baby has been taken. The news is not good, for Zorianna reveals that the prince is being held in The Barren Lands by the evil sorceress, Queen Kalesh. At the request of Zorianna, King Anzee and his people, the Kai-Kai, agree to travel with Jessica and to help her on her quest—even though their previous dealings with Kalesh have not been pleasant … to say the least. When Jessica leads the small group into The Barren Lands, she soon faces the greatest danger that she has ever encountered in the Magical Realms. If she and her friends hope to rescue the prince from the dark magic of the wicked queen, Jessica must once again have faith that she will be able to do what is right—in the face of overwhelming odds that truly seem to be insurmountable. But how can the small group expect to defeat the evil magic of Kalesh ... or the awesome power of her Dark Knights? How can they hope to rescue the infant prince? Will they be successful, or will the Magical Realms be doomed … falling under the dark thrall of the evil sorceress, Kalesh, forever…
Author Joan M. Miller has been writing for as long as she can remember, with one of her earliest successes being a poem she had published in her elementary school newspaper. She wrote several novels while still in high school, sharing them with her classmates one chapter at a time as she completed writing them, and has won honourable mention in two separate short-story-writing competitions. Joan kept her children amused—and encouraged them to read—by creating bedtime stories that she read to them each evening. She revisited these stories once she retired, and they eventually became the books of the Jessica’s Quest series. A Dragon’s Tears, Jup-Jup’s Giant Adventure, and now Zorianna, the Crystal Sorceress are the first three books of this series, and there are many more waiting to be published…. Joan and her husband are currently enjoying retirement in their home at Lake of the Woods, Ontario, where—in addition to writing new stories—she enjoys quilting, gardening, working with stained-glass, and spending time with family.
