In Search of Alania (Paperback)

A chill ran through Alania's body upon hearing the villain speak the words Princess Alania. She had not been addressed as Princess Alania in any sort of public gathering since she was twelve years old. She stared at Charkston without moving. She had assumed that Charkston and his band of Vandolian kidnappers were sent to abduct Deborah of Glamster, the intended bride of John the Blacksmith. No wonder Jamal was offering such a rich reward; he was seeking to steal the virgin daughter of Queen Aracia... Moments before, Princess Alania, in hiding under the alias Deborah of Glamster, had just donned her wedding dress in a secluded mountain glade. Zake, the eldest son of Sir Marticus the Avenger and under the alias John the Blacksmith, is ready to behold a bride worthy of chaste devotion. Only select guests are invited to the secret wedding so that it will remain hidden from the knowledge of Jamal, Charftan of the evil kingdom of Vandolia in the underground realm of Subterrania. The ceremony, however, is not as clandestine as they would have hoped... Once Zake discovers that his betrothed has been kidnapped and is to be delivered to the lecherous Jamal, he ventures into the depths of Subterrania, a vast and dangerous world filled with fantastical creatures and characters. Seeking justice and Alania, Zake is catapulted into the greatest adventure he will ever experience. In Search of Alania is the second book in a trilogy that begins with Zarkanis and Colesia and ends with the forthcoming Call to Subterrania.
