Summary
"I am Adelaide Constance Dierdal Aurora, the true queen and heir of the house of Mercia."
No one is more stunned to learn that Adelaide is one of Mercia's lost princesses, than Adelaide herself. Upon her deathbed, dear Aunt Susanna had barely managed to whisper these parting words, "God has saved your life, Adelaide. And now it is time for you to give it back in service to Him as the ruler you were born to be".
Immediately Adelaide is thrust into making life changing decisions; find her sisters, locate an ancient treasure and restore her kingdom, but in what order? Her two beloved cousins, Mitchell and Christopher vow to keep her safe, but at what cost? Mercia's ruthless King Ethelwulf will stop at nothing to destroy her.
Many battles rage through-out this engaging story; battles of conscience, battles between enemies and the more pulsating battles within hearts; which in the end may prove to be the most devastating. What does it mean to be gifted with the wisdom of the Almighty God; it becomes Adelaide's every prayer.
