Despite flaws, the novel is fast-paced and tightly plotted, which means that the reader will quickly be drawn into the complex twists and turns of the story and, in fairy tale tradition, led toward a surprising yet satisfying conclusion. On its surface a Christian work, using Old Testament quotes and Hebrew words spontaneously uttered in dialogue and exploring themes of healing, sacred places, and the struggle between good and evil, the novel owes more to classic fairy tales than to religious allegory. As in many fairy tales, the characters are flat, existing mostly as types—the beautiful princess, the wise nursemaid, the friendly talking animal—rather than complex human beings.

A beautiful story! Adin and Aletha, fraternal twins, are the prince and princess of Sherborne. They face the death of their mother, the queen, when they are about ten years old, and then the downward spiral of their father.

The twins, as they become young adults, learn details about their mother's death and their father's problems and learn of a very special map that guides one through time, not simply place. They use this map to save their father and their country, traveling in time to do t. This beautifully crafted fantasy will take the reader back through time into to find a curse that changed the world Deb The story of the birth was told time and time again, but was so mystical that no embellishment could improve upon the truth. Aletha's little body began to descend through the queen's birth canal. Reya, who would later tend to her, watched the child as she came out feet first, but then was puzzled when she suddenly stopped. It was a mystery because the child held tight to something and wouldn't let go. What was the babe grasping? The queen began to howl and push once again. The yo'shana was quickly solved when Aletha quickly started to move and pulle. Firebird, Faith and Freedom in this Fantastic Tale When the story begins Adin and Aletha's mother, the queen of Sherbourne, is dying. Since this book is all about the twins and their journeys, we know nothing about the queen yet I was touched by her death and it leads to profound consequences in the plot.

They are 10 years old when the book starts, but by the end of the story they are both well along in age. I found this story to be very precious as I hav
