Chapter One
The Egyptian Mirror and other short stories includes five short stories for the younger reader.
"The Egyptian Mirror"
Maryian is anything but a conventional princess. Quiet sewing by the fireplace? How about horseback riding in a full gallop instead. But as she reaches her 17th birthday, Maryian is not prepared for what is in store. After a surprise birthday gift of an exotic Egyptian mirror, Maryian finds herself transported to that land for real and must find a way back to her kingdom in order to stop the devious plot laid to steal power from her father, the king.
"Mohenan"
Everyone is born with a destiny. For Mohenan, life as a simple farm girl was all she expected. But awakened one night by a desperate call, Mohenan leaves her protected life to venture into the unknown after the one who sent her a plea in her dreams. Meeting new friends along the way, Mohenan learns that to survive it will take more than muscle to pull her through.
"In the Land of Whickabee"
Sibling rivalry is a sure thing. But when you're a princess and competing against your sister to inherit the throne, feelings tend to sour quicker than usual. For Amber and Bellaty, the only way in which to win the crown is to compete in a contest set up by their father, King Whackabee. But who will come out on top, only time will tell.
"Solvenia"
Who doesn't love visiting their friends? So what if that friend happens to be in a parallel dimension. With only a short portal hop, siblings Roxanne, Joseph, and Brian step through into Solvenia, expecting to meet their friend Zeltara on good terms. Instead, they are plunged into a nightmare as Zeltara whisks them away to safety and explains a demon has been set lose in the area. The only way to solve such a dilemma is to reach the top of the mountain Tokacato and ask the gods for help.
"Porchageta and the Suchil Vial"
Run at break-neck speed from the center of the enemies' territory, leap over a cliff and land on a hippogryph's back, and barely get rescued in time by allies after being shot down. Yep, just another day's work for Porchageta. But the above chaos was worth it since now the Association to Save Balten has the Suchil, an immortal being with untold powers. Kept guarded in a glass vial, the Suchil has promised to help free Balten from evil's grip in exchange for its release. The time to put this promise to the test is now.
