Palace of the Three Crosses: Book Two(Palace of the Twelve Pillars)is the continuation of Palace of the Twelve Pillars, the story of brothers Joachim and Brandan, twin princes of Crato who return from battle, with deep hurt and losses. Their father has died and their mother is missing. They are given little time to recover before Joachim is made the King of Crato and Brandon is to be King of Mahorg in an attempt to reunite and restore the Kingdoms after the war. The brothers are continually tested as they struggle to resist the evil that invaded their senses. Maeve is then wed to Joachim and Brandan becomes jealous of their union. Both brothers are still attacked mentally by the evil Sidramah as well as physically by his minions. Brandan is set up by a woman who is actually loyal to Sidramah in disguise. She and her father are looking to use him to gain control of Mahorg. Despite the numerous assaults that pit brother against brother and friend against friend, the twins, along with their loyal leaders, work to follow Asha, who brings goodness and light to the land and the people. Eventually, children come along to raise the stakes even higher to defeat evil and maintain hope, recovery, love and light in the multiple kingdoms. The story continues as they battle rages on emotionally, spiritually and physically in the land.Book Two is a fast paced, page turning read that has one hoping and reading for Asha to win. The flow is comfortable as one becomes more familiar with the characters and their lands from Book One. Ms. Wiegand seems to urge readers to stay true to their faith despite the struggles and despair we encounter as we go through life. I am looking forward to Book Three, Sanctuary of the Dragons, to learn more of the story, the lives of the twins as well as their heirs and the fight between good and evil.
