YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, July 7, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- In Land of the Twilight Mist (now available through AuthorHouse) Carol Weakland unveils a mystical story about a group of angels whose desire to create miracles has been limited by a dark spell.
Locked within a land of impenetrable mist by day, these "earthbound angels" anxiously await twilight and the opening of the gateway on Crescent Lake, the threshold of their prison. They roam the earth when night falls, devoted to their "soul purpose" of caring for children who need them. Each spirit is a beautiful sight to behold, yet far from the flawless angels one might imagine. An impish prankster, a fiery rebel and a shy woodland guardian are just a few of the characters that make up this angelic congregation, whose unique qualities help color their miracles and virtuous adventures.
Bran, the evil wizard, has no love for them, however, and seeks to stop their mission of spreading benevolent magic. He has trapped them in this limbo for his own wicked purpose, but he is about to be challenged by an unlikely adversary.
Diana Sherwood is an imaginative 13-year-old. Through a series of events, she realizes her destiny is to become Selena, the guardian who will set the spirits free. With the help of York, a trickster elf who falls in love with her, Diana begins her quest to make a miracle happen for the imprisoned angels. Along the way, they face many dangers as Bran's wrath relentlessly pursues them. They also find surprise allies, such as Diana's mischievous little brother, who is also destined to play a role in this epic adventure.
Beautifully written, Land of the Twilight Mist is a fresh, new legend that invites readers on a mystical journey of a lifetime.
Weakland is a certified reiki master and teacher. She passionately believes in the spiritual quest and says that the process of writing this book brought her into contact with spirit guides. Weakland has written and produced numerous adaptations of classical literary works for theater, including "The Arthurian Trilogy," which will be produced later this year. Land of the Twilight Mist is her first published book.
