Restoring Destiny by Elaine Ousten is a fantasy/coming-of-age story of teen romance, magic, evil and a fight to save a life and right the wrongs of yesteryear.
Torn from their
cloistered world, pursued by troops, Rais and Kanda battle the elements of an
unknown world and struggle to develop their emerging magic powers. Their mother
is to be executed at the next full moon by the evil ruler who invaded their
world. Only they can save her, take back the land, and free the imprisoned King
and their father.
With a guide and 2 teens, they travel
through a tunnel in the Mountain of Dread, battling the life-threatening
elements, to find the only man who can help them.
But
unexpected danger comes from one they trusted.
