Falcon's Prey
For years, the two kingdoms of Delmaa and Prantarr coexist peacefully. But when months of unprecedented rainfall cause a landslide of mud and rock to close the only route of commerce between the two countries, that peace is shattered. With war erupting between the nations, Princess Cristiana "Ana" of Prantarr and her brother must flee for their lives over a range of treacherous mountains to the safe land of Lentanne. En route, they meet Darius, a mysterious Delmish stranger, who joins them on their journey. When a fierce attack by a falcon kills, two must continue their journey alone.Confronted by dragons, mermaids, the forces of nature, and an array of magical creatures, they struggle to find their way over the mountains. Through it all, Ana learns to believe in herself and discovers just how strong she really is, for the hardest task is yet to come. Everything Ana knows to be true is turned upside down and a choice must be made...

About the author
Kristina Coia
2 books3 followersHi, I am Kristina Coia. I am 18, a singer/songwriter, author and motivational speaker. I live in New Jersey and I love to sing, write and perform!
I've written two books called FALCON'S PREY and LYMERIA. They are fun, easy reads for ages 9 and older and I'm told they are great for book reports! My song, THE WAY HOME, is actually a lullaby in FALCON'S PREY that I put to music.
When FALCON'S PREY was published, I was asked to go to schools to talk about writing. I found that my talks were putting kids to sleep, so I needed to think of another way to keep them awake! I decided to to take examples from my books where the main characters had to overcome challenges and compare them to what kids in middle school are going through today. I introduced what I call THE PURPLE WIG THEORY and to keep things entertaining, I even put on a purple wig during the program. I called my program SHINE THROUGH. I never imagined that my SHINE THROUGH program would become so popular. I love presenting them to schools and youth groups. Having so many requests for a program for elementary grades, SHINE THROUGH is now available for grades 1 through 8!
I am excited about the release of my debut Country Music CD entitled, ..HOW ABOUT THIS... Having worked over a year on my CD, which includes 8 of my original songs, I truly hope to sign with a label and make my dream of becoming a professional singer a reality.
Stay tuned for my next book coming soon!

This was the first book I read of Kristina Coia. When I learned she was only 14 when the book was released I was amazed. I couldn't wait to read her second book "Lymeria" which was released in August 2008. What a remarkable young lady and a great writer. I would recommend her books to anyone who likes a good adventure!
