A PENDALE TALE Part 1
Discover a place where magic takes on a new dimension
In Part 1 of the Young Adult Fantasy series A PENDALE TALE: a young soccer star leads her twin brother on a life-altering journey to a parallel dimension where “magic” takes on a whole new reality…
Viola Ferriman and her fraternal twin Sebastian couldn’t be more different. The teenage loner loves life in the outdoors and runs like the wind through the forests of western Massachusetts. A fiery redhead, she attracts attention for all the wrong reasons. Sebastian is much more comfortable inside a library or behind a desk. The brown-haired bookworm’s presence falls through the cracks like water.
Reeling from humankind’s abuse of her planet, Mother Nature is corrupted by revenge. Imbalance reigns supreme across every spectrum, forcing the spirit of the Earth to counterattack with extreme prejudice. A metaphysical messenger informs Viola of this reality. On one of the twins’ excursions into the deep woods, a door opens to a parallel world where the word “magic” takes on a whole new dimension.
On this journey, shaman and shapeshifters guide them in this battle against the forces of violence and vengeance. Rock-solid alliances are fractured. Familial ties are torn and frayed. Mother Nature, in her darkest of forms, is always two steps ahead…
Can a mysterious, inter-dimensional entity help them pry victory from the gaping maw of defeat?
The introduction of soccer into Viola’s life teaches her the value of teamwork and friendship. Her club captain and best friend forever Stefana not only helps the speedy forward improve her touch on the ball, but instills the confidence to face this ultimate fate.
Elements of fantasy and science fiction combine to tell this fresh and memorable tale of personal discovery amidst universal conflict.
