Nadia’s Heart, Part Two
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In
Nadia's Heart, Part One, amnesiac Nadia knew that something was wrong, so she
went in search of her missing heart. What she encountered has only brought more
questions: about her origins and her ties to the people of the Land of Silence.
She learned that her heart was indeed removed, and that her memory was erased
by an evil Voice. But why? Now Nadia and her glowing-eyed companion,
Georgeonus, must help recover the stolen hearts of the children of the Land of
Silence. In Part Two, they will do battle against the evil Voice and travel to
frightening places. They receive help from a powerful Witch and Wizard, and
Nadia gets her heart back—but it's not at all what she expected. Can they
rescue the stolen children's hearts in time?

EXCERPT
From Chapter VII: The Nether Regions:
“Mabel,” said Nadia, “how did you get down here? Did
Georgeonus and Holofernes make it? Are they okay?”
Mabel smiled patiently, helping Nadia to step away from the
table.
“Oh, I suspect they’re fine now” was her reply.
“But—”
“Come,” she said, turning. She pulled her wand from her
pocket, pointed it at the cloth, and the wrap sewed itself into pants and a
belted tunic.
“But—”
“We cannot linger here,” Mabel warned, turning to walk briskly.
Nadia caught up to her. “Aren’t we in the canyon?”
“No, Nadia.”
“Then where are we?”
“We are in the Otherworld. We mustn’t linger!”
Nadia did not press the matter, but followed Mabel closely,
striving to keep up. She had the feeling that they were neither in the
underworld nor in a canyon. She remembered the ice castle constructed by the
Voice. It seemed so long ago now. In that castle, when her thoughts perceived
that perhaps it was not there at all, it would come into and out of view,
disappearing before her. It was the same with this canyon. This time, she
perceived her own illusion. When it faded, all she could see was light.
“Take my hand, Nadia!” said Mabel urgently, in a tone which
alarmed her, and in a moment Nadia’s hand found Mabel’s, which clutched hers
back. Mabel’s other hand came around Nadia’s waist and drew her close, and
suddenly they were being sucked through some type of funnel. It was not
comfortable; it felt dangerous, and there was great pressure all around
penetrating Nadia’s cells.
