| Where Lies Beauty by Sheri L. McGathy is an interesting tale filled with sadness, joy, and a journey of many directions. In this tale a half elf half human named Tanner is forced to find and reveal Sha-da-nay, a place only revealed by the twilight. Tanner must find a way to save her brother and their companions from the ruthlessness of a slaver bent on stealing the magic of Sha-da-nay and using them for his own purposes.
Mourn a Moonreft Sky by Shannah Biondine brings enchantment and danger with a bit of sorcery and magic. The Umber Amulet is missing and Zavend Preece, along with Sheriff Iskadorich, seeks out a griffon rider and firedrake hunter named Praxis, but what they find is an ex-slave harlot. Praxis must track down the amulet and return it to its rightful place before the world shifts catastrophically out of balance forever. The Well of Forever by Jeanine Berry tells of a slave girl with the power to scry for lost things. Her master, Lord Demor, forces Caireya to seek out the lost wand of the mage king Lohar. When left in unsuitable hands 500 years before, the wand broke into two pieces and the world faced a cataclysm. Now, Lord Demor wishes to steal all the magic left in the world and rule as a self appointed mage king. Caireya must find a way to return the world back to its order and keep Lord Demor from using the wand and suffering yet another destruction on the world. The Treasure of Arvalis by Jeanne Allen takes you to the island of Ignatia where all live in peace and prosperity. Until one day when a ship of barbarians from the isle of Arvalis come to plunder Ignatia and claim all her worldly treasures. Eirena was amoung these treasures. Claimed by the Arvalian leader Valgard, the priestess watched as her land was destroyed. Slowly through open eyes Eirena falls in love with Valgard and they are left to protect both their people as their gods proclaim war with one another. It is up to Valgard and Eirena to teach their people the way of the true goddess and find peace once again. Jeanne Allen, Jeanine Berry, Shannah Biondine and Sheri L. McGathy have created four individual stories filled with magic and hope; each one different and filled with wonder. You’ll find yourself hoping for the best as you read each and every story. Will Tanner save Sha-da-nay from the slavers? Can Praxis find the Umber Amulet in time? Will Caireya find a way to save the world from the second coming? How can Valgard and Eirena save their people from a war of the gods? If you are partial to magic, mystery, swordplay, and a quest for something greater then you will want to get a copy of Twilight Crossings 2 and fill your imagination with magical wonder.
