Publisher's Synopsis
About the Book: The first book of five in the series, Mirabella and the Pearl of Chulothe, begins a quest by three friends that will span the globe in a race of good against evil to find the Five Keys that will prevent the coming of a new dark age. Theirs is a passage through folklore, legends and riddles, where in order to succeed and survive each character must draw on their own strengths, on the quality of their friendship and belief in themselves and each other. A classic hero's journey this is a modern tale of courage and fear, of love and loss, and how experience can teach us to discover our true self and the power that comes with belief in ourselves. Above all it's a story of the strength in us all and the hope and potential it generates for the future. The reward of power is not always in its release but more often in its control. The most powerful secrets can lay dormant for years, inherited through the generations, while waiting for the right time and pieces to fall in place. Our destinies wait for us, but not forever and when the time comes for them to unfold and secrets to be revealed, nothing and no one can prevent it. Success or failure in our life is much in our control; we think our fates are our own but we each have a part to play in one another's. Some destinies are greater than others and can change the course of the future if they are fulfilled. Mirabella has such a destiny and there are those that intend to stop her.
