Flaptekst

A child shivers in the darkest of forests. A powerful force threatens the entire Kingdom of Galiwell, and it's pulling her closer, closer into a swirling, smoky mist of evil.

Hope and the Kingdom of Galiwell is a novel about that child and a fantasy world filled with magical creatures. In the Kingdom of Galiwell, ten-year-old Princess Hope is eager to join the fight against her father's enemies. Hope looks up to her older brother, Prince Beckon, who travels throughout the realm, fighting the evil that threatens their father and the kingdom. But Hope has a lot to learn about herself before she can meet her own ambitions. Hope's headstrong, adventurous nature soon brings her to a corrupted forest filled with warped beings. Here she finds herself at the very doorstep of Dark Star, a formidable, evil being eager to destroy Galiwell--and capturing the princess would give him the power to do so.

In these twisted woods, Hope learns the secret of her true identity. She also meets good friends who will fight to help her escape the clutches of Dark Star. But when she discovers an unexpected weakness in her own character, Hope becomes enslaved to the very evil she despises. As her brother battles desperately against Dark Star's cruel servants and their plot concerning an ancient agreement, Hope struggles to free herself from the wickedness that ensnares her. And when Dark Star demands a great sacrifice, will Hope be able to break free from the shadows that darken her soul?
