Book Synopsis

The time has come...

Now that she has discovered her true heritage, Ramsey Wilder is ready to meet her destiny. Plagued by grief and haunted by memories of death and betrayal, Ramsey’s only motivation stems from her desire to end the war between elves and Element fairies. She intends to visit the Golden Fairy Realm to seek aid from Titania, Ramsey’s aunt and High Queen to the fairies. Although the Golden Fairy Realm has refused to interfere with the war in the past, Ramsey is confident that her blood relation to Titania will be enough to persuade the High Queen to use her royal influence to end the war. Before Ramsey can make her request, she must first find a way to reach her. What at first seems feasible becomes incredibly difficult when King Vortigern finds a way to put restrictions on magical traveling, forcing Ramsey to travel through each Magical Realm before she can cross into the Golden Fairy Realm.

About the Author
At the age of 15 she began taking a serious interest in her writing. Two years later, with the help of Editor Patricia Lantier, PhD., multiple music playlists and countless cups of coffee, she completed Journey into the Realm: The Elf Girl, her first novel. The second in the series Journey into the Realm: The Spell Master was completed the summer of 2012 and Journey into the Realm: The Stolen Child was completed January 2014. Surrounded by a supportive cast of friends and family, she puts her feelings and experiences into everything she writes…with a little bit of magical embellishment of course. And as she continues to write Ramsey’s journey, Markelle attends Loyola University-Chicago, majoring in English/Creative Writing with a minor in Communications.
