Synopsis

“The Crux” is a young adult fantasy novel about a teenaged, timid, and inept girl named Jenna Weir. Alistair, a wizard, recruits Jenna to help defend Lendaw from Anko, an evil overlord who seeks world domination and enslavement. Alistair believes Jenna is the fulfillment of a prophecy: “One will come who will be of, but not from Lendaw. One who will have the power that Anko cannot defeat. With the finding of the one, Anko's domain will cease to be forever.” Through her training, experience, and many confrontations with enemy forces, Jenna discovers abilities and powers she never had before. These abilities enable her to grow as a person. Jenna grows in a confidence that she realizes was always there. When confronted with tragedy or adversity, Jenna discovers the inner strength to rise to the challenge presented to her and to overcome her fears.
