Book Synopsis
A
Guardian's Truth is about Ariella, a young Guardian Queen of Royals, in the
secret land called Isles of Olympus. Forced to sit on her throne before she
comes of age, and yet kept in the dark about her history, who her parents were
and the life she never got to have with them, after being given to her maternal
uncle and his wife, when Ariella was only minutes old. No one would even speak
her parents names after that. Frustrated by the constant over protection of the
councilmen and women of the Isles, Ariella and her closest friend (whom rarely
left her side from the age of four), her dragon Kyith, set out on an adventure
within and outside of her realms, that would start the events that could lead
her realm back into war. Many enemies are found to be trusted friends, while
some friends are shown to be true enemies, Ariella is left wondering: who can
she trust, who she should trust?
Guardians
are descendants of the first two Gods, Uranus, the God of the heavens and sky,
and Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth and nature. Their first born child, a son,
Gaius, named for both his parents, was betrayed by his younger siblings as they
overthrew Uranus by beheading him, so to rule the world and heavens themselves,
Gaius wished only to avenge his father’s murder, but Gaia had other plans. She
gave him his own realm hidden from the titan’s wrath, and their descendants. A
gift for his loyalties, he and his kin and any God, Goddess or magical creature
that wished to escape the titans and later the Olympians, would live free of
the tainted bloodlines of those that had murdered the father God for greed and
power, with only one hitch, no Guardian could ever wish to lay claim to the
original homeland of Gods, Mount Olympus.
For if they did, all that had been, could be undone!

About
the Author
Sandra Schepis is currently living in the Brisbane Bayside
area of Queensland, Australia with her beautiful family. I like to spend most
days in front of my computer either writing or researching different elements
of my stories and interests in Greek Mythology and history in general. Though I
have spent years writing short stories I have never before published any of my
work.
Isles of Olympus is different, it is a complete work of
towns and cities, landscapes, cultures and lives I spent month creating, so
that I could sit and enjoy the story that flowed from the details.
A Guardian’s Truth the first of three books to come out of
the Isles series, was a special project designed ultimately for my children to
read and enjoy, igniting their imaginations and inspiring their dreams.
I
love landscape photography, and use it to inspire some of my works. Mythology
weather Greek, Celtic, and some Nordic are keen interests that I enjoy
researching; reading is a passion of mine when I am not writing. And in between
that and my family I love to get out and explore

Review:
I had no idea what to expect on this book, but I love greek mythology. What can I say about this book....
I loved it. Ariella is a wonderful character. I was completely caught up in her quest to find out her history. I also loved the dragon. I have read very little with books about dragons let alone have a dragon as a main character.
This book was fun and I am dying for more of this world. The Guardians were a cool aspect of the story. I have to say I was completely caught up in this magical read and couldn't put the book down. I definitely recommend it to all!
