"Time's Magical Rift!"
"A thousand-year old prophecy of a child. A child born of
power so great, she will control all magic and hold the
fate of the world in the palm of her hand.." Lady Arlana
Von Fordin, prophesied child now become a woman, is about
to travel to her destiny with Commander Oric of Czanri of
Myseen of Browan, her Lord Protector. Her job is to guard
and learn the magic of the orb, created in a spell gone
wrong. Indeed, her destiny is to fix what was devastatingly
begun so long ago. Arlana's dreams, however, reveal an enemy who appears as a
powerful force that threatens to overwhelm her sleep and
waking moments. She knows the day is coming when she will
be unable to escape Pgar's black-eyed, hypnotic power yet
she trusts her own growing magical powers. Who will
prevail? And where does Oric, the man who over time seduces her with
his telepathic messages and irritates her with his macho
protective airs, fit into her final mission? Who are the enemies lying in wait during Arlana and Oric's
journey to the center of her destiny? A protective army, magical dragon, altered time, goblins, a
disloyal servant vowed to serve Pgar, and a final war of
magical powers spin the reader with breathtaking speed
through this alternative universe of intense love and hate.
The author is such a master at describing these scenes that
the reader can visualize and hear every stage in the
threatening journey. Two seducers vie to the death for Arlana's spirit and the
reader will find that he or she is also depending on the
victor for the life or death of time and humanity! Isabo Kelly has again written a very fine fantasy novel
filled with a splendid, creatively expanding plot that
totally engages the reader in its romance, intrigue, and
suspense till the very last page. Absolutely splendid, Ms. Kelly!!! Reviewed by Viviane Crystal on March 27, 2004

To heal a magical rift that could rupture the very essence
of time, Arlana Von Fordin and Lord Commander Oric of
Browan face a treacherous journey. Assassination
attempts,
warrior goblins, telepathic attacks, a cryptic dragon and
the jealousy of a deadly blood sorcerer stand between them
and finding the answer to a centuries old riddle that will
force them both to face their destiny.
SummaryA thousand-year-old prophecy foretold the birth of a child
with power so great, she would control all magic and hold
the fate of the world in the palm of her hand. In Fordin
Barony, in the kingdom of Karasnia, the prophecy has come
to pass. Her name is Arlana Von Fordin.
Arlana had spent her life questioning the enormous magical
powers she was born with. She would have given up all her
power for a simpler life. But Fate has other plans.
Isolation and loneliness leave her vulnerable to the
mysterious man who haunts her dreams. Terrifying her even
as he seduces her, he poses a risk she can't comprehend.
Then Lord Commander Oric of Browan marches into the
barony, bringing with him a hint of Fate's plan. And
Arlana faces an attraction that endangers her heart and
soul.
Lord Commander Oric trained since the age of ten to take
up the position of First Protector to the prophesized one,
a duty forced on him by the death of his sister. He wanted
a different life for himself, but fate gave him no choice.
Twenty years of diplomatic and military training, twenty
years of festering resentment toward the woman that would
control his future, finally bring him face to face with
the sorceress, Arlana Von Fordin. And his worst fears are
realized. For rather than fanning his hatred, Arlana, with
her beauty and unconscious charm, fans his inner obsession
and desire.
Arlana and Oric must journey to the heart of Browan,
overcoming assassination attempts, warrior goblins,
telepathic attacks, a cryptic dragon and the jealousy of a
deadly blood sorcerer. Only together can they find the
answer to an ancient riddle. But will they be in time to
heal the damaged magic that threatens the world?
