Zahara's Gift
Page 24
A combined group of cheers and whistles brought them back to reality. He turned to see Thomas, Kirsten, Max, Bo, and Ivan all shouting for them. Even Zahara was roaring loudly to join in the cheering. He felt his cheeks burn and saw Maija was blushing too. The two held each other close; one arm wrapped around one another as they joined in with the group of friends and family.
Anders watched as everyone around them hugged and smiled, happy to be reunited with one another. As he looked at the familiar faces surrounding him, he knew everyone in the world who he cared about was right in front of him, and he was happy. Though the threat of Merglan’s return still loomed over their heads, Anders didn’t allow it to bother him for the moment. He looked to see Ivan place a gentle hand on Zahara’s neck and give a meaningful nod to Nadir, the elf prince. The look he gave Nadir told him that Anders and Zahara had fulfilled the prophecy Merglan had been attempting to prevent; at least for now.

Enjoy this book? YOU CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE by leaving a review
Reviews by readers like you are by far the most powerful tool in my cache when it comes down to receiving attention for my books. Where as New York publishers have the budget to take out full page ads in the newspaper or entire posters on the subway, I unfortunately don’t have that kind of budget for advertising; not yet at least.
What I do have, that is without a doubt more powerful and effective than paid ads and something that those big-time publishers would kill to get their hands on, is a group of loyal and committed readers like you.
Valued and honest reviews by my readers will help see my books into the hands of other readers who’d enjoy discovering these stories.
If you’ve enjoyed this book I would greatly appreciate it if you could spend just a few minutes of your time and leave a review (it can be as short as you want) on the book’s Amazon page. Click the link below and it will take you right to the page.
