A gentle river softly flows,
Through whispering woods where the twilight glows.
Elle's shining star, a guiding light,
Brings peace to hearts, dispelling night.
It shields the dark from shadows' creep,
As dreams take wing, in slumber deep.
The winding brook leads the dreamer's way,
To Agartha's shores, where night greets day.
In this magical realm, they find their home,
A timeless journey, where spirits roam.

I'm not much of a reader (my daughter is) but have to say I did read this one & I liked it I even finished it. Liked the romance part myself.. (Christina White)
My name is Jeanette, and my girlfriends and I just read your book. We belong to a book club here in Anaheim. We enjoyed reading your book. It reminded us of "Alice in Wonderland, Lord of the Rings & Wizard of OZ. Also, we felt the age-appropriate level should be teenagers through adult. Remember the members of the book club are teachers. Again, we enjoyed reading your book and wish you luck in your endeavors. (Jeanette)
Cecile Garcia writes a wonderful story that will be worth your time to invest. I thoroughly enjoyed it. (Cinemabon)
Great novel. Loved it! The characters seemed to come to life on the pages. It was fun and left me at the edge of my seat. (Victor G Ramos)
Out of the 10 books I’ve read by Cecile Garcia, I can definitely say this one’s my favorite. The best of C.S. Lewis’s “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” and Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” wrapped into one delightful adventure. If you enjoy Elves, magic portals into other realms, and a blend of contemporary and epic fantasy with a young adult literary twist, you’ll appreciate this book. Charles Pearson)
You will embark on a journey into a world not like ours, filled with wizards, sorcerers, pixies, fairies, elves and mystical creatures. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good fantasy and adventure book. (RJM)

I enjoyed this book so much, I highly recommend it! It is a very charming fantasy story, which reminds me a little of Alice in Wonderland and Lord of the Rings. Kinda. Anyways, it is a good book, recommended for 10 and older but people like me love reading fantasy books and I enjoyed this one. I recommend this books. (Morgan Lee)
What a delightful book! Although rated for 14+, I truly enjoyed it at my age, senior, and look forward to reading more of Cecile Garcia's books. (Nancy Marie)
