Illusional Reality.
The
only film that grabbed my attention and held me there with an open
mouth, was the amazing Lord of the Rings trilogy.
They said
that whoever took that 3-book fantasy on, had to be crazy. Peter
Jackson wasn't crazy, but he was a hobbit in his heart.
His
vision and attention to detail just made this magical film pop.
It
was after watching the first film, Fellowship of the Ring, that the
story of Becky and her magical adventure took place in my mind, heart
and soul.
By the time the 1hr journey from the cinema had ended I
had the names, plot, conflicts, storyline, everything written in my
head. and then as most writers know, once you're in the "zone"
there is no stopping you. By the time the second film, Two Towers,
book two, The Quest was again plotted in my mind and it didn’t take
long to get the first draft on paper.
“The
Quest by Karina Kantas is the sequel to her book Illusional Reality.
Becky is once again pulled from England back to the world of Tsinia
where she is The Princess. Thya is Becky’s name in this astonishing
fantasy world. Thya is the only one who can save her people and their
land. They have been forced to leave their magical land and live in
caves to survive. The world along with the characters are fleshed out
even more with the addition of more monsters and characters and
magic. You travel with Thya and a couple others through trials and
tribulations which are expertly created to make their Quest either
successful or a failure. Her magic becomes even stronger but alas
there is a dark side to it that she has trouble controlling. This is
a definite page turner. You will become completely invested in Thya
and her companions surviving and making it back to Tsinia. The action
is nonstop as Thya and her companions run into many intriguing
problems. I loved both books. If you like fantasy worlds that take
you away these are just the books you need.”

EXCERPT
City
of Helkon
The
door to the cell unlocked and Thya stood up. King Theon slowly
entered. Almost cautiously. With his hands on his hips, he tilted his
head and his eyebrows creased. The king pointed to her and then to a
bowl that his servant held out. Thya peered into it and saw the same
glittery substance that she had used in the throne room. It seemed
stupid to refuse him. She did as she was told and, once the spell
touched her lips, Theon’s words became clear.
“Rotate,” he
commanded.
She turned around as instructed. A Rant pushed her
hair aside, exposing her bare back and neck.
“Tis so then,”
Theon exclaimed.
Thya turned around to face him. “What is so?”
He bent his head to the side, and his eyes widened. “You are
not aware?” He stepped back. “Yet you possess the ancient
emblem.”
“What ancient emblem? Will you not reveal the
significance?” She would not beg even though she needed
answers.
Theon’s sudden change of behaviour concerned her. His
stance and facial expressions went from awe to surprise, then almost
to fear. His head tilted again, and his hand rested on his chin as he
walked around her.
“Do you not comprehend your greatness? Do
you not realize who you are?”
“Of course, I am Queen Thya of
Tsinia, Guardian of the Changlins.”
“Have you not marvelled
at the difference with yourself and that of other Ganties? Surely you
have experienced strength and a will that cannot be bested?”
“With
certainty.”
“You possess the emblem.”
“What emblem?”
“Upon your back.”
“Tis naught but a birthmark.”
“Nay,
Queen. You are mistaken. The mark as you name it, is an emblem of
exceptional greatness. I understand now why your thoughts were
blocked from me. Immortality appears with a value. I wonder what you
would bestow for the quest of eternal youth?”
Nothing he said
made sense to her but, before she could demand answers, the King
jumped up and down and rubbed his hands like an excited young boy. “I
will present you to the Bustak, as homage,” he said, rubbing his
hands together as a huge smile etched on his face.
His next words
were foreign to her. The magic of the spell had worn off, so she just
stood and watched the Rant and the king communicate, hoping to get an
idea of what was going to happen next.
Theon grinned and patted
the guard’s back. They spoke briefly and nodded their heads as they
continued to stare at her. She wished she understood. Who or what was
the Bustak? The name raised goose pimples on her arms, and the belief
that this was, again, the end of the road for her returned.
The
guard led her from the cell and back into the palace. There were no
shackles, no Rant gripping her arms. They walked beside her but kept
glancing at her. She ignored them and concentrated on calling out
with her mind. Alkazar, my love, where are you? She repeated it over
and over, with no knowledge of whether he could hear her but, if he
had, there was no answer.
