(July) Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information. USA Today called the series epically driven high fantasy. Who Dares to Stop Him Princess Una of Parumvir has come of age and will soon marry. The Tales of Goldstone Wood book series by Anne Elisabeth Stengl includes books Heartless, Veiled Rose, Moonblood, and several more. A clever debut from an author worth watching. Since they never get enough to read in this small market niche, Christian fantasy fans will be particularly enthralled by this first in the Tales of Goldstone Wood. But Stengl does let her imagination run in inventing some delightful things and scenes: the Twelve-Year Market that appears in its own good time and sells fairy goods a clever blind cat who is invariably underfoot and has, of course, a secret. Allegory is hard at work here-occasionally too hard, when the intended meaning drives the plot instead of the plot being driven by the momentum of events.
When Una makes the wrong choice, catastrophe ensues for the princess and her family, and love, courage, and trust are needed when darkness engulfs the kingdom. She, however, finds him insufficiently romantic and much too boring in his concerns for her safety as a dragon approaches the kingdom. The kingdom's Princess Una is courted by Prince Aethelbald of Farthestshore. Debut author Stengl conjures the fantastic world of Parumvir.
