Alyra, mockingly known as Princess, was captured at an early age by the evil ruler, Darnel, and brought up in the dark land of Racah. At the age of seventeen, she considers herself nothing special. She has no recollection of who she is or where she came from. Her hope of ever finding freedom dims.Until the messenger arrives. Until he brings to light the meaning behind the medallion she's kept hidden. Until she accepts the blinding truth.
Now she flees for her life.
Alyra’s journey leads her down a narrow road with strange traveling companions. Together, they encounter a kingdom where nothing is what it first seems.

Think a fusion of "Pilgrim's Progress", "The Chronicles of Narnia", and "The Wizard of Oz"! This is one of the most inspiring Christian fantasy allegories that I've read. The characters are so imperfect but you still love them, like their gracious King loves them. The author has come up with a very clever way to follow multiple main characters, though Alyra remains the center of the books. I would recommend this to high schoolers on up.****This Review May Contain Some Spoilers****I stumbled on this trilogy when I found the third book, which immediately caught my attention for two reasons.

I am sorry to say that I got this book long ago and never finished it. But I missed out, clearly, because I have now finished it, and Im glad. Its a rich, epic story, right up there with C.S. Lewis for diversity and variety, right up to date for our modern culture floundering out of Gods path at every turn. It might seem repetitive, but arent our lives a repetitive course of repeating the same sins and wondering how God can really forgive us? And each case is dealt with differently. Different
This was a very interesting book. Like other readers have said, it is truly a cross between The Chronicles of Narnia and Pilgrim's Progress. There are several typos in the kindle version, but overall I enjoyed it.
EXCLUSIVE GUEST POST BELOW: One of my favorite genre's is fantasy. However, less than a year ago, I had no small amount of disdain for it. Why did that change so drastically? One author: Jackie Castle. I can't tell all of you how thrilling it has been for me to work with her. I hope you're inspired by Mrs. Castle as much as I am, and get to know her just a little better with Literary Cafe's exclusive Q&A interview here: (http://literarycafe.weebly.com/home/g...) You won't want to miss it! In
A Brilliant TaleA masterfully written tale that conceals and reveals truth within an engaging story. A mirror to our own willfulness and struggles to trust the One who loves us first and loves us best. An excellent read!
Fantasy and FaithA perfect mixture of fantasy and Faith.I started with the prequels and glad I did! I love the change of viewpoint.
