Partly due to her curiosity the heroine in this tale Aurora, leaves the world as she knew it and is transported to another realm where she is destined to fight a super natural war against the evil Prophious and his side kick Governor Chanterelle. Once there she realizes that she had been groomed for the take over all of her life, so the things that once seemed odd to her growing up during current times, made perfect sense once she crossed over to the other realm. Only one problem, how was she going to fight the evil ones and win, when she hadn't mastered the use of her new found super natural powers?An interesting story which I enjoyed as I learned more about Aurora and the secrets of the realm. I was a bit let down with the actual battle against Prophious. The build up was excellent, but the actual scene fell short with Prophious just basically blowing a whole lot of steam. I expected more and looked for interactions with the Fairies and others from the realm that knew war was inevitable.Minor typesetting and typos but it didn't take away from the story.Good character development! I enjoyed the scenes between Aurora and Tahlon and the internal battle Tahlon had with his love for Aurora conflicting with his warrior duties. I loved Aurora's playful nature and Ms. King-Bey expertly combined the strong, playful, and sensitive attributes of her personality, making Aurora a character I would like to read about again...in any realm.LocksieARC Book Club Inc.
