Description

"A beautifully engaging fantasy teeming with dragons, fae, magic, and the importance of family and friendship. A joy to read from beginning to end!" -Julie Boglisch, author of the Elifer Chronicles, the Requiem of Stones series

Jemma Avalon is the daughter of a gentle part elf-fae mother and a father with fiery dragon blood, an unusual combination even in the magical world.

Ten years after her mother's sudden death, Jemma is working at a major museum in DC, where magic is all but outlawed. Her father wants her to assimilate and live without magic, but Jemma is determined to fully embrace her heritage. She longs to return to Everland Bay, the enchanting world where her Grandmother Annalyn lives, and find a way to join the renowned magical research institute there, like the women in her family before her.

An ordinary day at the museum takes an extraordinary turn, rocketing Jemma to an Everland Bay Institute under violent siege, where dark-arts mages threaten everything important to her. She and her companions work feverishly to overturn their foes, knowing that it may already be too late.

About the Author

Lynne Shaner has been captivated by fantasy, myth, and fairytales since childhood, when her mother first read Charlotte's Web and The Wind in the Willows to her. She lives in a village in Wisconsin, close enough to Lake Michigan to walk to the shoreline every day. Shelves overflowing with books line her home, and there is always a knitting project on her needles. She lives with her husband, and Merlin, her small, adorable pup. When not writing, she can be found reading and knitting in her garden, when she grows herbs and flowers and story ideas. This is her first novel.

"Magic appears, weaving in and out of characters and settings with astonishing ease, taking readers along for the ride." -Mary Ann Noe, author of Water the Color of Slate

"Journey to Everland Bay weaves the contemporary world into a magical world with originality and urgency. It is like a battle between fast moving steel and slowly falling rose petals, never forgetting the cost of progress or what true destruction looks like. It is iridescent at its core, a shimmering and ethereal reminder that sometimes, the old ways are best." -Del Blackwater, author of Dead Egyptians

"The story jumps off quickly and continues with the forward-moving pace. Encouraging and inspiring. A great plot and tight writing make this a series I am looking forward to more journeys with." -Readers' Favorite 5 Star Review
