He gives her an Artifact of the Ancestors and tells her to travel to the distant and fabled city of Gatlen. There, she will be provided with a means to cure Tymy. But it will be a long and perilous journey, filled with dangers unknown. At the same time, suitors promise her a safe and comfortable means for the rest of her life. With the town rulers mounting pressure to seize the Yago property, Addylyn is torn between keeping her brother alive and risking it all on.... The Road To Gatlen.

This is a good, well-paced fantasy for someone who is looking for a relaxing read. The scope is small in this first installment and the characters simple and easy to care for. It ends with a promise of more to come.
