poetry and universal life lessons. It also has humor, mystery, action, forbidden love,

This is the story of how that splitting was done and how love saved the lives of almost everyone.
A young princess’ destiny isn’t what she thought it would be. On a life-changing journey, she discovers that she is meant to be so much more than just a queen, and that gives her the courage to save her kingdom and follow her dream.
This amazing story has a wonderful timely message of hope, empowerment,
acceptance, and forgiveness.
Where The First Queen of Nore begins-
In a land far, far, or not so far away, in a time long, long, or not so long ago, there was a
wonderful kingdom at the foot of the Majestic Mountains with free-flowing rivers and
bubbling fountains that sprung up from the earth so deep and gave birth to wild pears so
sweet. A slice of pear pie was the beginning of a lie that would split the kingdom in two
and give birth to something new.
Once upon a time, there was a maiden fair, whose brilliant eyes into yours would stare,
a message from her heart so true you could feel it when she looked at you. Her power
and strength came from a secret place, others could see it on her face. The conviction
of her heart’s desire would set the kingdom’s world on fire and change the course of
history for those who followed her mystery.
