Lost Nowhere

Book excerpt: Lily doesn't like change although it seems to follow her everywhere she goes: change of house, change of school, and change of friends. She does a pretty good job at rejecting it every chance she gets, but when she stumbles upon an enchanted world full of crystal stone beaches, mermaids, and witches, everything moves faster than she can even perceive possible. And no one seems to be bothered by it! She has two choices: staying in misery alone or learning how to surrender. Sa Neo is the enchanted world inside Lost Nowhere and it consists of seven different lands, each with its own ruler. As Lily explores the lands, she is taught the magical ways of the Sa Neo people, but it is the mermaids who rule underwater that Lily finds most compelling. The Princess Mermaid, Crysanthe, is fond of Lily also, and together they form an unbreakable bond. There is one rule though - Lily must keep the existence of the mermaids secret from the Sa Neo people, for such news of their existence could create a jealous rage, and worse, war. As Lily is exposed to unwelcome popularity, she is forced to juggle her secrets between the people of the land and the creatures of the sea. Conflicted with whom to trust, Lily quickly realizes that the world of Sa Neo is not as it seems, pushing her to quickly decipher who is real and what is not. Lost Nowhere is an epic fantasy, woven with spirituality and magical realism, that will encourage readers to learn how to accept fate and love themselves. Lost Nowhere is a must-read for anyone who has questioned what life is and why we are here.
