Epiphany - THE CRYSTALLING: An urban fairy tale
‘A fast-paced and original plot filled with mystery and suspense. Fun and engaging.’
Book Readers’ Appreciation Group
Award-winning urban fairytale for grown-ups
THE STORY-WITHIN-A-STORY CONTINUES
In the second installment of Sonya Deanna Terry’s award-winning Epiphany trilogy, secrets unravel, another romance blooms and Rosetta’s book club delves further into Our True Ancient History, a fairy story rumoured to be real.
The book club members presume Lillibridge’s story to be a fancy reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. They’re soon to learn, however, that Our True Ancient History is a great deal more than kisses from handsome princes, crystal-crowned wands and damsels outsmarting the wicked.
Rosetta and her daughter Izzie are now familiar with the alternate history’s characters. But how is it possible that the characters are familiar with them?
Outside of Lillibridge’s tale, Matthew races to an emergency, and Rosetta returns from New Zealand with a newly discovered crystal in her purse. When their worlds collide, Matthew gets the chance to read Our True Ancient History. In so doing he unearths a surprising new future…based on a forgotten and enchanted past.

Readers’ Comments
‘I loved all the mystery and I loved the way the author created suspense from the very first page. Very enjoyable!’ Male reader, aged 54
‘I think the story within a story is a clever premise that works well. The author’s writing style is simple and effective; with a pleasant flow to it that I liked. She is capable at describing characters/setting in an interesting way. Although the cover is poor, the book is not!’
‘A wonderful mix of ‘fairy tale’ and ‘modern life’ The author did a lot of clever plotting to get this right. And she did! Vibrant characters, interesting dialogue, and a sprinkling of fantasy. I will be hunting out all of this author’s books.’ Female reader, aged 35
To Sum It Up:
‘A compelling novel populated with intriguing characters. A FINALIST and highly recommended.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

The Crystalling is the second book in the Epiphany series. The stories continue and we get answers to many questions. For example about who Glorion really is, the mysterious stalker and what happens to Pieter and Eidred. Just like the first book, I loved this book as well. Maybe even more! Again, the characters were well developed and the world building was fantastic. I also liked that some chapters were written as emails. I can't wait to read the next book in the series and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes to read fantasy.
