SEGUE by Vita Harwood, Kaleidoscope Trilogy (Book 1) "A story for those who believe there's more to the world than what we see. Step beyond the edge of dreams and discover a world where myth becomes real." Segue is a captivating story born from dreams and an endless curiosity about what lies beyond the edge of our world. It's a journey for those who dare to take a single step into the unknown and face the unpredictable and the magical. Together with the heroes, you will enter a realm where: In the shadowy forests live centaurs - not always friendly; Majestic dragons come to the aid of those who earn their trust; Dryads still fear humans, and mermaids are clever and dangerous; Leprechauns still grant wishes - but only for a special price. You'll encounter floating sky islands, ancient flying machines, secrets of vanished giants, enchanted artifacts, and mysterious markets where people pay not with coins, but with rare red stones from the island of Venta. Within these pages, you'll discover more than forty mythical creatures and beings! But most of all - every reader will have a chance to walk alongside the book's hero and face The Book of Enchantments, a living labyrinth from which almost no one escapes. Only those who think, question, and dare to despair might find their way out... or open a door to an even more extraordinary world.
