Taking as her starting point the inspiration and wisdom that can be derived from myth, fairy tales, and folk culture, Dr. Sharon Blackie offers a set of practical and grounded tools for enchanting our lives and the places we live, so leading to a greater sense of meaning and of belonging to the world. Enchantment. By Dr. Blackie’s definition, a vivid sense of belongingness to a rich and many-layered world, a profound and whole-hearted participation in the adventure of life. Enchantment is a natural, spontaneous human tendency — one we possess as children, but lose, through social and cultural pressures, as we grow older. It is an attitude of mind which can be cultivated: the enchanted life is possible for anyone. It is intuitive, embraces wonder, and fully engages the mythic imagination — but it is also deeply embodied in ecology, grounded in place and community. To live this way is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at the heart of the ordinary.

There they learn much wisdom from a king who, like God, has many names'. After an incredible sacrifice of his dearest dream by the boy (now growing up) they return - another dream - to a family tea with their loved ones. The tale is a prequel and companion to Ruth Finnegan's award-winning epic romance 'Black inked pearl', here adapted for preteens but characterised by (in a simpler form) the same unique dream-like and enchanted style as in the original novel. Five Star Review (Readers' Favorite) Silver Award (Hungry Monster). "It really fizzes" Inspirational Christian fantasy fiction.

When a blessing becomes a curse. Pamela believes that her enchanted hair, a gift in exchange for her mother's kindness, is nothing more than a venerated curse. When the envy and greed it attracts causes discord at Fort Daverna, her guardian has no choice but to move her somewhere else. It's in Fort Romarium that she meets the one person who couldn't care less about her rare condition. Lagartho's direct, no-nonsense attitude fits her idea of the perfect bodyguard, yet it is this same characteristic that makes him difficult to approach. Pamela still tries to befriend him, even though they are as different as night and day. But as she gets to know him—and the past that taints his present—she discovers that they might not be so different after all.
