Eldoria: A Step through the Thicket

by Michele Bussiere, Chantal Bussiere (Illustrator)

For as long as she could remember, 13-year-old Morgan Campbell had been interested in one thing and one thing alone... magic. Not magic in the sense of pulling rabbits from hats or astounding people with amazing card tricks. No, the sort of magic which fascinated Morgan Campbell was something far more mysterious and inexplicable than that. Perhaps it had something to do with her nearly floor-length hair which grew so quickly, it required almost daily trimming. Or maybe it was her oddly mismatched eyes, with one requiring concealment at all times from her classmates. All she knew for certain was that magic was a part of her very being and she would not rest until she discovered why. An ocean away, someone actually knew the reason and was waiting to tell her all about it.

Everything Quinn Ramsey had learned in his sixteen-year existence related to life within the shores of Eldoria, a mystical island located somewhere among the Scottish Isles. Eldoria was not a place created by nature, but at the hands of one of the world’s most powerful wizards, Sanders Sloane. Every inhabitant of the island, whether it be human, beast, or plant, served a very specific and magical purpose meant to create a utopian community protected from the destructive behavior of the world around it. But when humans are involved, is such a perfect world ever truly possible? Quinn Ramsey knew the frightening answer to that question, as well as the secret to Eldoria’s future survival. Her name was Morgan Campbell and she was about to learn everything she could have ever wanted to know about her true identity.
