    About this ebook

    FOR THOSE WHO DARE THE IMPOSSIBLE


    Laurel could stay home and watch her future crumble.


    Instead, she risks everything.


    Searching for a better future, she enters a mysterious stone world where everything is backward. Pretty is ugly and ugly is pretty. Unless Laurel completes the quest in three days, she may be trapped.


    You'll be drawn into the medieval world of stone masons and cathedral builders, entertainers and herbalists. And gargoyles. This haunting tale will become a legend in your heart and mind.


    MIRACLES COME AT A HIGH PRICE


    Will Laurel succeed? Impossible. She needs a miracle. Or two.


    This is a rich, surprising, and sometimes disturbing historical tale of gargoyles, and those who carve the creatures from solid stone. There's darkness in this cautionary tale for teens, that nevertheless pulls off not one, but two miracles, and brings Laurel home to stay. An apt, if unexpected ending. A brilliant coming of age, sword & sorcery tale.


    BUY NOW to follow Laurel's harrowing journey toward miracles.
