How would you feel if the fate of your world rested on your shoulders, but you can't seem to learn the skills you need?  Could you ignore your feelings of inadequacy and charge ahead?  Auri is plagued with guilt about deaths she believes are her fault, and she's torn apart by deep feelings of love for Lirian and Nachal.  She loves them both deeply but her passion is reserved for just one of them.  Will choosing the wrong one doom her world and the men she loves?This is an epic tale that explores the deep emotions of the characters as well as describing the growth they must achieve to save their world.  A love triangle makes all three parties suffer, but Auri blames herself for their pain.  She's the White Queen of the prophecy and must learn to ignore death, suffering, and pain to heal her world.  As the White Queen, will she need to harden her heart to accomplish the task?The characters introduced in the first novel grow and work together to resolve their problems, but it's not easy for any of them.  The lessons they learn in book two of the series must prepare themselves to meet the enemy in book three.  There is hope as Auri finally learns how to use her powers.  As with any epic tale, waiting for the next book so we can learn the outcome is the hardest part for an eager, impatient reader.  Keep working Ms. Holloway, we're waiting.
