Centuries ago in the Colorado mountains, a horrendous act birthed a great evil that destroyed the land’s indigenous people. Legends were told that whomever entered its forest would be hunted and killed by the face of their own regrets. Those who survived the cursed terrain claimed a woman, and the monsters that protect her, saved them from their guilt induced deaths.

Only to find a young girl living on the land, claiming that she is his stepfather’s daughter and true heir to the mountains. Wanting her kept quiet, Joe starts an investigation to shine light on the girl’s past, what really killed his stepfather, and why he feels the mountains calling him.
Just finished reading this wonderful fictional book by my friend Deborah Hall. This is her first novel and it is full of a colorful fantasy world filled with lively characters that take you to a mystical reality. If you loved Chronicles of Narnia, then you will love reading Zella: Curses & Conquerors.
