The Twilight Box

Second book of the Tales of Terre (subtitle); fantasy from 12 to adult, set in a Middle Eastern/desert environment. Ambro, the sea urchin of the first book, THE SEPARATED, now 16, is in search of his missing family, possibly of the ruling race in Terre that has subjugated and enslaved the Wind Walkers. Noleena, a princess and priestess of the Walkers, must find the magical means to conquer Terre's evil sorceress-queen, whose spells have led to conflict in Terre and the cruel treatment of the Walkers. An exciting fantasy sequel for 12 to adult.
