Title: Alosha
Description: Alosha, Part 1 of a 3 part trilogy.  Ali Warner is a just a normal teenage girl, clinging to the fantasy of distant, magical lands where she herself could be magical, dreaming of leaving the burden of everyday life behind her.  So far her life has been nothing but a burden.  Her mother died in a car accident one year ago, and her father;  a detached Trucker working through his terrible grief hasn't even acknowledged Ali's flourishing figure or complicated emotions.  Spending all of her time in a Southern California forest, that's always truly been her real home, is now being destroyed by logging.  Her whole life crashing down around her, she discovers that she is a princess..a REAL fairy princess.   But there is one more burden that she must deal with.  She learns that the fate of the world rests in her hands.   To claim her fairy powers, she embarks on a quest to overcome seven deadly challenges, leading up to a confrontation with the King of the Dwarves and the King of the Elves, whose armies are poised to invade Earth.  The only question is, will she have the strength to overcome these obstacles, and her own inner demons alike.
