The Black Shard

About a year ago I read an awesome book called The Magic Warble, by Victoria Simcox. It was about a young girl transferred into another world and her adventures. Think Harry Potter….

Well – Victoria’s next book The Black Shard has just been released and I got to read it!! Well… I’m almost done!

While this is more geared towards tweens and teens, I really am enjoying reading Te Black Shard. I’ll be honest and tell you I’m only half way done, but I wanted to share about the book as it’s near it’s release date.

Kristina is back for more adventure as she is reunited with Prince Werrien and all the fairies and gnomes in Bernovem. Victoria Simcox goes into great detail, the land and all the characters involved in the story. I can really see them in my mind. I can’t wait to finish!!

The Black Shard, Victoria Simcox’s fast-paced, intricately woven sequel to The Magic Warble, takes Kristina Kingsly and her schoolmates back to Bernovem … and into a thrilling, often dangerous adventure.

Kristina’s stay at summer horse camp is horrible to say the least, and it’s all because Hester and Davina are there as well, making her life miserable. When Hester’s cruel prank goes terribly wrong, it’s actually what sends the three girls back to the magical land of Bernovem. In Bernovem, Kristina is very excited to see her former friend, Prince Werrien. When he invites her to sail with him on his ship to his homeland Tezerel, putting it simply, Kristina can’t refuse.

Reunited with her gnome, dwarf, animal, fairy friends … and best of all, Werrien, things seem like they couldn’t get any better for Kristina. But when Werrien becomes fascinated with an unusual seeing stone, the “Black Shard”, Kristina is haunted by a ghostlike old hag. Struggling against suspicion, guilt, illness, and ultimately the one who wants to possess her soul, Kristina will see it’s in her weakest moment that she will encounter more strength than she has ever known.
