この電子書籍について

From master storyteller Diane Stanley comes a spellbinding tale, based on Shakespeare's The Tempest, of two princes—one chosen, one lost—and a mysterious girl on a magical island, all caught in a great web of destiny.

On the day of his birth, Prince Alexos is revealed to be the long-awaited champion of Athene. He grows up lonely, conscious of all that is expected of him. But Alexos discovers that being a champion isn't about fame and glory—it's about sacrifice and courage.

Alexos follows the course of his destiny through war and loss and a deadly confrontation with his enemy to its end: shipwreck on a magical, fog-shrouded island. There he meets the unforgettable Aria, and faces the greatest challenge of his life.

One prince burdened by fate. One island shrouded in magic.

The Chosen One: Prince Alexos was born to be a champion, but his lonely path is one of sacrifice and loss, not the fame and glory he expected.
Coming of Age Fantasy: A young prince must grow into his power, navigating a devastating war, a bitter rivalry, and a destiny he never asked for.
A Magical Island: Shipwrecked and alone, Alexos washes ashore on a fog-shrouded island where he meets Aria, a mysterious girl who will change the course of his life.
Adventure and Survival: From the battlefield to a mysterious shore, this is a spellbinding tale of courage in the face of impossible odds.
