Resumen del Editor

Sapphira is a desert world with little plant life, where the people live in the shadows of gray sunlight, sickened by the Dark Plague. To cure the people, the Guardian of Dreams sends the Spirit of Truth to bring the light back into his darkened world. In the form of Pegasus, he enters the world through the pure, innocent dreams of Selene, the reluctant princess and heir-apparent to the throne. Now, with her brother Dorian as king, another rebellion is stirring. All eyes are turned to Selene to bring peace through an arranged marriage. However, Selene only has eyes for her true love: her protector, Etoileon.

As the rebellion unleashes its fury upon the kingdom of Sapphira and the supernatural forces collide, Selene is caught in the middle of all conflicts - the battle for her world, the battle for her love, and the battle for her very soul.

Beautifully Written and Performed Fantasy

What a beautifully written fantasy revolving around a battle of light and dark in a truly captivating landscape and story. The narrator was great and a huge asset to the story. It was definitely hard to put down. This is a great fantasy, romance, and adventure for 4 graders and up (just because of the clean romance side).

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A Beautiful Fairy Tale with Echoes of Truth

CJ has written a delightful story about a princess full of light and love and laughter. Raised by her kind brother, the king, after the death of her parents, Celine knew it would be her duty to marry for the good of the kingdom. A prophecy at her birth foretold this, saying that when she married, the lands would be at peace. That peace however was threatened when an islander seeking revenge for past wrongs threatens to take the kingdom by force, if not allowed to marry the princess. Would this unhappy marriage be the only way to ensure peace for the kingdom? And what other forces are at play behind both the royal family and the evil ones?

This was a lighthearted story, accessible to children of all ages. It's also very Christian and I found myself moved to tears in places when words were spoken that reminded me of who God is. CJ also wove the footprints poem throughout the story as well as writing in a Pegasus. While perhaps inspired by Narnia, it was definitely its own story and not quite like any I have read before.

Mara's narration was also lovely. I thought Anne Shirley was telling the story at first. Her male voices were a bit odd, but most of the story is told from Celine's vantage point, so it worked out okay.

Overall, this was a lovely story from CJ and I look forward to reading her sequel. I received a free audiobook from the author and have reviewed it willingly.

A COMPELLING ALLEGORY !!!!!

BEAUTIFUL INTRINSICALLY DEPICTED.
AN EXTREMELY WELL-WRITTEN ALLEGORY WITH A COMPELLING NARRATIVE. EXTREMELY WELL-WRITTEN I ABSOLUTELY LOVED. ACCEPTABLE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. NARRATOR WAS GREAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW !!!!!

Enjoyable read

I enjoyed listening to this book, The Narrator had a very easy voice to listen to and helped to set the mood and get into the characters from the story.

It was also very interesting how C.S. Johnson use a well know story from the Bible to make up this story, but still making it her own.

In all darkness there is light. In life we face setbacks or trails and it is our duty to get through them the best we can. This story show the difference between right (light) and wrong (evil - darkness). This book took me on an amazing fantasy journey and I enjoyed the development of the characters between siblings, friends and the love that grows from all the situation between them all.

Thanks for taking me on this journey.
