Elisabeth Anne Stengl’s creative writing in this fantasy novel is the best I have ever read. How she is able to create this fantasy with all the twist and turns, creatures great and small and the wide range of characters is beyond me. I am sure with this level of writing, we will be seeing much more from her in the way of novels and awards won for creative ability.

Anne Elisabeth Stengl is the winner of the following Awards:
