Facets of Fantasy: A Collection

By Sarah Scheele

Description:

The Trouble with Taranui: It's 200 years in the future. Carina Fierten belongs to a tiny hereditary minority of Christians called the EC. When guerrilla bandits force her family out of her home, Carina moves to the independent city-state of Wyncon. She hopes to stay out of trouble, but this is a world where nothing stays the same for long. Especially if you're a Christian. And Carina's life is one of the things that is about to change.

Jurant: Don Tachimant ran away from his high-ranking family and their military academy years ago. Hiding on the distant planet of Galreon, he lived as a criminal until a failed embassy bombing put him back in the sight of the law. Lord Haltyn is an old friend--supposedly, at least--of Don's grandfather. And now Lord Haltyn thinks Don is the perfect tool to spy on old Tachimant. Don will have none of it. But when he does return to Jurant, he finds something no one could have predicted.

The Amulet of Renari:Violet lives a quiet life in a picturesque family mansion. She's heard stories about the kingdom of Tsayan, but assumes they aren't true. When her home is destroyed, she flees into the distant mountains,haunted by legends that turn out to be entirely real.

Why the author wrote this book:

I always loved speculative and I wrote many drafts of speculative stories as a child and teenager. As soon as I began publishing, I wanted to explore the way imaginary places or future societies can help showcase the role of faith in our own world today.
