Speak

Edith must learn the power of her own voice as she rescues her father from an enemy king, discovers the mythical stories she doubted are true, and learns the true reason two countries are diving headlong into war are connected with secrets about her family. 

 Edith has spent her life hearing her father spin his stories. She always thought they were fictional, until he is taken hostage by the king of Renoria who seeks revenge. When her mother and brothers are recruited in the forthcoming war and she is left at home, she naively takes it upon herself to rescue her father, confronting her skepticism and uncovering secrets about the past.

Braving the wrath of the vengeful king, Edith escapes with her father and a prince, who was also imprisoned. When they are trapped within the borders, they delve deeper into the country and uncover the world from her father’s stories. On their journey, Edith comes to terms with her parents’ history, finds love in unexpected places, and develops her own talent of speaking her own tales. Edith must use her gift of persuasion and speaking in stories to unravel the hate and magic driving the two countries into war.
