All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

The ancient legends told in the Kingdom of Calenda about magical creatures are stained with blood and darkness. Since the Great War between magical beings and those without gifts came to an end, no one has dared to cross the Enchanted Forest... Or so the stories tell. Sapphire Diamond has never believed in fairy tales. But everything changes when her cherished older sister, Princess Emerald, falls victim to a terrible illness on her eighteenth birthday. The only possible cure is to drink the nectar of the Edelweïss Flower, located beyond the Forest. Sapphire will have to reconsider the fairy tales that her own sister told her as a child. Accompanied by Art, a handsome and mysterious troubadour, Sapphire will embark on a thrilling adventure through the vegetal path in pursuit of the magical flower. But what mysteries await on the other side? The Forest Song will reveal a disturbing secret that marked the fate of her family long before her birth.

Epigraph


|ʚĭɞ| Epigraph.


ઇઉ.¸¸.* “The second day they passed through the Singing Tree Country. Each tree had a different shape, different leaves, different bark, but all of them in growing —and this was what gave the country its name— made soft music that sounded from far and near and joined in a mighty harmony that hadn't its like for beauty in all Fantastica. Riding through this country wasn't entirely devoid of danger, for many a traveler had stopped still as though spellbound and forgotten everything else”.

—The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende.

Hii, Dynamite. Nice choice for an epigraph! Michael Ende's The Neverending Story is a fantastic source. The quote sets a whimsical and enchanting tone, giving readers a glimpse into a magical world filled with unique wonders. The way it describes the Singing Tree Country makes me want to visit, but there's also this hint of danger that adds a thrilling twist. It's a good way to draw readers into the story. Good job!
