The Kingdom of Colonodona has been peaceful for years, and a new generation of royalty now flourishes beneath the watchful eyes of Queen Sitnalta and King Navor. Prince Lucas studies magic from his mentor, the Wizard Kralc, while his older sister, Princess Audrina, prepares for the distant day when she’ll take on the mantle of Queen. With the prince and princess preoccupied by the everyday concerns of magic and rulership, the excitement of their mother’s youth seems long pastâ€"except for the nightmares plaguing Prince Lucas’s sleep with what he fears are premonitions of a deadly future.
When a young woman enters the lives of the royal family with a story of loss and a request for help, she quickly becomes Prince Lucas’ unexpected confidant and Princess Audrina gravitates toward her in ways that place her in a difficult situation for an heir. As a search unfolds for the young woman’s absent father, the prince’s nightmares become increasingly horrifying, the princess’ feelings grow more complicated, and the newcomer’s intentions are cast into doubt. The royal family must discover the secret of the stranger in their midst before hearts are irrevocably broken and events reveal whether or not Prince Lucas’ dreams are truly prophecy in ‘The Wizard’s Apprentice : Book One of the Children of Colonodona.’
