"The king is a tyrant, oppressing the poor, and spending the people's money on luxuries."
When Cassie stumbles into an alternate world through a portal into a kingdom in turmoil, she is outraged at these words and joins the rebellion. But is it true?
Eighteen years after her father visited the Realm, (Ian's Realm Saga books 1 - 5) Cassie takes a selfie on her cell phone and travels through a portal to the same world. Thrilled to have an adventure, she stumbles into the den of the cranky old wizard, Silvio.
Through him she learns of the unrest happening in the kingdom called Alisubbo. When a handsome cavalry officer, Valerio, appears with his troops in all his pompous attire, Cassie is breathless.
The cunning Valerio immediately recognizes the opportunity of befriending a lovely, young, and naive stranger. He sweet-talks her into helping his cause and gives her the task of delivering an Appeal for Peace to the king.
Tragically, unbeknownst to her, the letter is not what Valerio says it is.
As Cassie travels to the castle she encounters the royal family, and reconsiders her involvement in the rebellion, especially after meeting the king's son.
But it's too late to stop the violence.
