TALISMA
by Marie Mohn
Thrilling fantasy,
dramatic twists and a stirring love story!
Why did Kaja – a
bearer of good fortune – suddenly run out of luck? Shadow creatures lurk in the
dark, one misfortune leads to the next, and her fear of being claimed by the
aristocrats increases by the hour. Furthermore, she is torn between her seaman
and the wild wood wanderer, before whom all warn…
Can she escape her
superior opponents? And how will her heart decide?
The gods
obviously had lost their minds! Otherwise, such a disaster would never have
happened to the twins Kaja and Liana. It objected to every law of nature!
Nevertheless, on this fateful spring morning fifteen summers ago, indescribable
misfortune came over the two, although they were considered bearers of good
fortune from birth.
Kaja
would never understand why, of all people, Liana suffered such a fate. Her
sister had always been the sunshine of the family. She herself, however, had a
lot of nonsense in her head and preferred to stray through the streets of their
hometown, Donn, with the other kids to play adult pranks. A carefree
seven-summer-old she floated through her life, grounded only by Liana. In
return, she always scattered the worries of her sister and protected her from
the unpleasant sides of the outside world.
On this
terrible day Kaja longed to shield her sister, as always. Panic threatened to
overwhelm her and she almost choked with fear, but she fought relentlessly
against her mother, Namea, whose arms prevented her from moving. She had to get
to Liana and convince the crude footmen of the Earl to take her instead of her
twin sister! Liana didn’t deserve such a lot, and Kaja knew it was her job to
prevent it!
Kaja
trembled with fear for her sister. She closed her eyes and saw black spots blur
Liana’s pastel-green contours. Despair and pain darkened her view. Her heart
was pounding. Panicked, she tore open her eyes and watched through the narrow
gap in the closet door as a fat, bearded bloke abducted her sister.

Marie Mohn lives with her husband and her son happily in the heart of Austria.
