In
the elven nation of Seiren, Nature and its purity were paramount. So
much so, that when the world of Aikara became scarred by centuries of
war, the elves constructed a formidable magical barrier and sealed their
forests away from the corruption. This action forced them to sever
their connections to Heaven in order to protect their lands from Hell.Centuries
later, Galen, sole heir to the Seiren Nation is the Guardian of the
magic that keeps his land protected from the outside world. His
sheltered existence becomes threatened the morning a young mortal woman
breaches his defenses and makes her way toward the capital city of
Arcadia. Galen must decide whether to trust this girl and join forces in
war with his father's ancient allies, or to continue their self-imposed
isolation, condemning the forces of good to battle the armies of Hell
alone. Either way, Galen knows that his world will be forever changed.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
An avid reader with a creative imagination,
Louise Lindell has been writing poetry, non-fiction and short stories
about fantasy since she was a teenager. Her earliest memories include
her grandmother reading C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, and going on
Tolkien- inspired "adventures" in the Maryland woods with her Aunt Amy.
Lindell's favorite classes in college included anthropology, psychology,
foreign languages, literature, and creative writing. Her greatest
influences in life have been her mother, her connection to nature and
her friendship with her sister. She lives near the coast of Georgia, and
enjoys spending time with her family when she is not writing. It has
been a life-long dream of hers to write a full-length fantasy novel.
Lindell's sister, Claire, challenged her to make her dream a reality,
and the thread of a story that began as a phone conversation blossomed
into what could be a multi-book series. The completion of Sanctity
Shattered also fulfills a promise to her mother, who always inspired her
children to live their lives not by the dictates of society, but by the
persistent mandates of the heart. |
