Children of Swan: The Land of Taron, #1 by Coral Walker

The first book of ‘Children of Swan: The Land of Taron’ trilogy whisks readers off to a strange and unsettling world where parents are missing, siblings can’t be found and life is held cheap.

The action takes place primarily in the land of Taron on planet Cygnore, where the children’s parents are of royal blood, but from kingdoms that are sworn enemies. The parents’ lives would be in peril if they were found to have had a family on Earth. Bo, the youngest son, is kidnapped. In hot-headed pursuit, Jack and Brianna, both 16-years-old, plunge into a wormhole and emerge in Taron. Locals catch them and bring them to an arena where they must fight to remain alive. Little do they know that Lord Shusha is plotting against their father Prince Marcus, and their presence in Taron provides him the very means to further his vicious plans.

Lady Cici wants Jack to live, but not for Jack’s sake. Though the prospect of marrying a prince preserves her sanity, Cici’s heart is still in anguish over the death of her childhood sweetheart, Ornardo. Being Lord Shusha’s daughter, she has learned many arcane crafts. Injecting the soul of a dead person into a living body is one of them.

Dr. Pentland is troubled: genes don’t lie. Prince Mapolos is not a legitimate prince, that is why his genes are incompatible with Bo’s. If the treatment goes ahead, Prince Mapolos would be killed as the result of it. If Dr. Pentland is ever to get the energy-rich “blue-moon” stones needed to save the Earth, a miracle is needed.

Brianna is the miracle, Teilo knows it, the land of Taron knows it. She will become a targar woman, the hope of the land, if only she swallows the Pearl of Targar.
