Alexander has a rare gift for weaving stories, but even he never imagined his latest captivating tale would come to life…

The young farmer turned storyteller lives with his head in the clouds, running from the past and hiding from the future. But he’ll have to come down and face the harsh new reality of the Great Depression if he stands a chance of saving his family’s New York farm from the bank.

Desperate to save his home, the hopeful young man makes a wish on the famous Northern Star. And that magical wish transports him far, far away…to the shimmering Valley of Diamonds.

It’s there, in the legendary Realm of Dreams, he meets the beautiful and bold Princess Aurelia. She makes his vulnerable heart beat fast, unlocking a world of possibility.

The princess makes him an offer he can’t refuse. Be the hero they’ve been waiting for to help her troubled kingdom, and in return, she’ll give him as many diamonds as it takes to save his family’s farm.

But navigating through the extraordinary land proves to be more difficult than he ever dreamed, especially while a dark plot unfolds in the shadows.

Alexander must face his fears and fulfill the prophecy or risk losing everyone he loves and everything he holds dear.

The blurb did not do this story justice

For me, this felt like a dash of Oz with a pinch of Alice blended in with a wonderfully creative YA Fantasy Adventure Romance

The story starts in the past and immediately had me hooked with the little twist that left us hanging - There are a lot of little moments here and there that are IDK a bit like cake bites (better than breadcrumbs) that kept me guessing and a bit curious 

Alexander, who immediately stole my heart, is a bit of a storyteller and quite the dreamer. He is living with his aunt and uncle during the great depression. When things turn bad for his family he makes a final wish only  he finds that his heart's desire is a bit more(?) than he knew

I don't think I can do justice to this tale. Packed with adventure. Magic. A whole lot of mayhem. Self-discovery. Acceptance. Personal growth. Young love. (The princess was such a perfect match for Alexander)

If you enjoy YA fantasy romance (clean) with plenty of action and adventure, an engaging storyline that promises to captivate from beginning to end.

Packed with well-crafted characters that take place in a beautifully crafted universe this would be for you

Taylor Summerlin is no stranger to the world of storytelling. During her time at Fullerton College and Cal State University, Fullerton, she studied the subject in its many forms. From illustration to storyboarding, to animation/film, to writing, she learned it all. It wasn’t until after she took a step back from the world of animation that she decided to try the path of the author and illustrator. That little step turned into a large leap. Ever since, Taylor has written and illustrated stories, along with a few poems, people have expressed how much they loved. Her wish is to continue this path and that those who view her work will enjoy as well as feel the love and care she put into them.
