Book excerpt: Miranda Montmorency has always tried to believe that someday the glorious prospect of her country in peace will return. However, the war between Medietas and their once close Ally-Innatus, soon throws her into desperation, just as it does to countless others. For half a decade, King Anton of Innatus has led a massive invasion that left Medietas only one village intact. Cellynberge- protected by an invisible shield - is the secret safe anchor that no one except the people of Medietas could know about. Miranda persuades herself that her family will be safe when entering Cellynberge. Yet attacks start happening once again, and Medietas is now on the verge of collapsing completely. Torn between her will to fight for her Kingdom, and staying quiet to protect herself and others, Miranda must determine where both her heart and mind are. ""Our Kingdom had never truly appeared to be a wreckage. It stayed undaunted, waiting for hope""
