H.A. Byrd, Aru's Realm

Aru lives in an era reminiscent of nineteenth-century Europe. The concept of war is unknown to her world, yet the power-hungry and the greedy are found here as everywhere. Aru's unique vision and her courage will be called upon in a desperate attempt to save peoples she hadn't known existed.

Each chapter of her adventure is a different color. We are enveloped in the crispness of white, immersed in moods of blue, and the brown chapter bears comfort and the rich smell of freshly turned soil.

As events unfold, Aru learns that she has attracted the attention of an unknown master of magic. Who is this person with the gall to meddle in her life? Why single her out to torment?

Harriet Arden Byrd's willingness for footloose adventure, combined with a love of animals, gives her plenty of fodder for storytelling. She lives with her family in a little house full of animals near the Salish Sea
