Your children are not your children.

They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. †

 

Queen of Seven (a sequel to Alisiyad) is a novel about the past, the present, and the future.  A story about family.  A story about growing up, and growing old.  A story of how you can never escape your ghosts or hide your secrets forever.  It’s the story of Elly, a girl blessed –– and cursed –– with more power than anyone should ever possess.  And it is the story of those who loved her, lost her, and will never forget her.
