The Evil Wizard Henig destroyed Taridawil... ...and the younger child of Duke Randall was sent - all unwilling - to Tallspire to become a page and earn his shield. Meet Kefen and Ivan as children... Discover the story behind how Ivan fought half their class... Watch how they figure out what friendship means... And learn what really happened to bond them so closely together in this touching tale of friendship, resilience, and caring. ****************** The Fall of Taridawil Story Collection includes: Turns of a Page - how Kefen and Ivan met, how Ivan fought half their class (and why), and how they ended up becoming so close. In A Masterful View, we peek into Master Felerico's viewpoint on the boys Of Pride & Princes takes a look at Henig's original threat to King Theolore We get into Queen Marlerite's head in Sorrows of a Queen And the collection finishes up with an 'outside' view of the whole situation from... Rufous in All on the Same Page ****************** Teaser: The small, dark-haired boy - no, ducal-prince, dammit, and that was how Kefen was going to keep his chin up - swallowed hard and began to turn back into the stall for a last measure of privacy before he had to go out there and show the world how a Saralath handled things. But a movement to his left caught his eye. Another boy was standing in the aisle of the stables, watching him silently. The boy was tall and golden-haired, with eyes that were almost too blue to be real. Eyes that were puzzled as he met Kefen's own dark ones. After a moment of looking at each other, Kefen realized the other boy was dressed as he himself was. So. Another page. And tall as he was, something about the other child nevertheless suggested to Kefen that he was also new here. He waited, but the other boy said nothing. And when Kefen lifted an arm to rub his tears off on his sleeve and it broke their gaze, the other boy turned and began walking away. Curious, and drawn for reasons he couldn't have explained, Kefen followed him.

Autorenporträt

Mangala McNamara lives in Flyover Country (the far northern end of the US South) with her husband, The Professor, and four of her six children. The remaining children are in college - you can blame the oldest for the excessive amounts of math showing up in Mangala's fantasy novels, the second one for better attention to staging of scenes, the third for all the economics, and the fourth for great attention to history - and all of them for a focus on political science! Mangala is a former professional bellydance instructor, and used to enjoy knitting, crotchet and embroidering Temari balls but now is much more boring as she rarely does anything but write... although she also fences (the sport) and plays D&D with her kids. She owes her love of books and reading to her mother, who was a professional folklorist and could recite - from memory - stories from every nation in the United Nations.Her Chronicles of Ilseador and Prankster Prince series occur in the same world as the Knightess of the Realm stories.
