Synopsis

Enchantment Opal explores the "dream" world of a young girl from the 21st Century, and the "struggle to survive" of a young boy from the 11th Century, each who overcome heartbreak and calamity through their strength of character and a belief in themselves. They will meet on the docks of Venice just before the First Crusade. Opal will transport the reader to ancient lands to experience the skullduggery of pirates, shipwrecks, a kidnapping, an emperor and the Queen of Egypt, the befriending of a princess, a first infatuation, and a final reckoning with the always stalking, dangerous time-traveler, Abbadon the Assassin. Written with great sensitivity, Enchanted Opal weighs the challenges of responsibility and integrity.
