Shadowglade

BEWARE of sentient spell books!

Lana’s plans to create a better life for the gnomes meets a potentially deadly setback. The gnomes’ defeated queen has a sentient spell book with a bad attitude and instructions for revenge. Outsmarting the castle’s wards and booby traps turns into a daily challenge, and Lana and her companions hope that’s the worst of their problems. Unfortunately, the imprisoned queen would sooner die than let the gnomes rule themselves, and unless Lana and her allies can stop the disasters the spell book has set in motion, the gnomes may not survive long enough to enjoy their freedom.

Kay L. Ling began writing fiction at an early age. In grade school, her stories evidenced a sense of wonder and love of adventure. In one, mythical creatures lived and traveled inside a rainbow, and in another, a bored sixth-grader turned her teacher into a maroon sofa and then teleported herself to London. As she grew up, Kay never lost her ability to imagine strange and wondrous peoples and places, and now she would like to share her unique fantasy adventures with others.
