The Mysterious Separation

Beschreibung

The hunt has begun in earnest. The kingdom of Fairendale is in disarray. The prince has been stolen from the castle. The king's army was destroyed by the dragons of Morad. The lost children remain missing. But a Huntsman shows up at precisely the right time and offers his services to King Willis, turning the king's attention from his missing son back to his overwhelming desire to find the other missing children. Meanwhile, deep within the bowels of the castle, a prophetess considers the future before her and the decision that every prophet must make at one point or another: will she die to change the dark future or will she let it remain as it has been written? The Mysterious Separation is the sixth book in the Fairendale series, a magical middle grade series that explores the world of fairy tales, dragons, wizards, and other magical creatures. The world of Fairendale revolves around villains and heroes-all on a quest for what they believe is right. But one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero. Throughout the series, the story of King Willis and his determination to keep the throne is woven into the story of his son, Prince Virgil, heir to the throne and friend to the village children, and the story of fairy tale children fleeing for their lives-children who become what we know as fairy tale villains, for one good reason or another. But, remember, one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero.

Autor

The themes of identity and love amid difficult circumstances often show up in R.L. Toalson's writing, and no matter their gender or genre preferences, children and young adult readers around the world enjoy and anticipate her hopeful message of bravery, transparency and the human capacity to change the world, at least a small part of it. She is the author of the middle grade fantasy series, Fairendale, about a tyrant king (who may not be quite as bad as he seems) pursuing a group of magical children who become what we know as fairy tale villains (for one good reason or another), and other children's, middle grade, and young adult literature in the works. R.L. Toalson's own journey into writing is a long and straight-line one. She began penning stories in small-town Texas on white computer paper back when she was a kid. When she got to college, she rose through the ranks of her college newspaper, this time telling true stories. That's where her writing career began-sitting with unusual people, gathering information, soaking up the stories of everyday life. In 2015, she ended her newspaper days as a managing editor, with multiple writing accolades accrued over the years, so that she could become a full-time author of both fiction and nonfiction. Born in Houston, R.L. lives with her husband and six boys in San Antonio, Texas, where she faithfully writes at least 5,000 words a day, five days a week.
