The Dragon King seeks his princess—who dares to stop him?

Princess Una of Parumvir has come of age and will soon marry. She dreams of a charming prince, but when her first suitor arrives, he's not what she'd hoped. Prince Aethelbald of mysterious Farthestshore has travelled a great distance to prove his love--and also to bring hushed warnings of danger. A dragon is rumored to be on the hunt and blazing a path of terror.

Una, smitten instead with a more dashing prince, refuses Aethelbald's offer--and ignores his cautions with dire consequences. Soon the Dragon King himself is in Parumvir and Una, in giving her heart away unwisely, finds herself in his sights. Only those courageous enough to risk everything have a hope of fighting off this advancing evil.

Judge Appertaining To Books Heartless (Tales of Goldstone Wood #1)

I first discovered Heartless when I was doing an online search for Christian fantasy books one day. Admittedly, the beautiful cover was the first thing that drew me to it, but once I started investigating the series, I became seriously curious about the story. Now that I've read Heartless, I have to say that I loved it, and I don't think the story synopsis on the back cover does it justice. The synopsis makes it sound like it's going to be a light, fluffy read, and for about the first half of

The only fantasy I have read before this book was C.S. Lewis and a little Tolkien. But with the persuasion of two respected blog friends and a determined sister, I picked it up. (Okay, so I actually got the series for Christmas. But hush, those are meaningless details.)My first thought was "I really like this writing style." But that was before I was swept into Anne Elisabeth Stengl's marvelous world of allegory. Have I ever mentioned that I really like allegory? Well, now you know. In reading

@EFB - I will hopefully continue the series. And yeah, I see what your saying. (I would totally debate about the Narnian allegory though). @Aeroniel -



About a young woman coming of age to marry, the consequences of her choices and the offer of redemption. I found the imagery brilliant, the flow of the story almost lyrical. I had a hard time putting the book down. I did find that throughout the book I wasn't as connected to the characters as I was to the story, its allegory and the style. The author's website says, the Tales of Goldstone Wood are a series of fantasy adventure novels told in the classic Fairy Tale style" which I think she did

This is the darkest book I have ever read. The fantasy element was chilling and nightmarish, but I wouldnt have it any other way. Because its an allegory of sin, misplaced love, and redemption, there is no other way to portray how helpless our state is. At first glance, its an unnecessarily magical story with an irritating, shallow protagonist. Una was all about appearances, looking for a dashing prince. She was irritable toward her brother and downright rude to any suitors who didnt fit her

4.5 Stars! This book is gold, and I loved it so much!Here's the thing guys, I just got this book from the library and told my Dad that it has a dragon and a princess and has wonderful humor. (That's what I got from the reviews I've read). That's what I told him; that was all the synopsis needed; he started reading the book before I could even get my hands on it.SO WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS!!!! GO GET THE BOOK!!!! YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE!!!! I LOVED IT, HE LOVED IT, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'LL
