A TALE OF LIGHT AND SHADOW
by Jacob Gowans
Henry and Isabelle have secretly sworn to marry despite his lowly station. Though Henry is but a carpenter, his devotion drives him to commit an unthinkable act that may cost both of them their lives.
Unknown to either, a dark prophecy has set in motion events which will affect not only them, but the thrones of rulers throughout all of Atolas by eclipsing the world in shadow.
But all is not lost while hope remains in the guise of an unlikely hero and the strength of friendship.
My Review
Intriguing beginning! I SO LOVED IT!A storyteller comes in and has an audience waiting for him to spin a fantastic tale.
The next chapter starts as if you are in the audience listening to his tale of a young man and a young woman who are in love and are trying to figure out how to convince the father to give his blessing for marriage.
The father is conniving and has a different plan--
In the process the girl gets poisoned, they go on the run and a small band of friends end up traveling together.
The storyteller is with this group of friends and all the while he keeps thinking-- this will make great material for my stories-- whether it is an adventure or a mishap.
A fun book!
Adventures, deceptions, anecdotes, romance, and friendships await :)
