ORENDA by Ruth Silver
a Young Adult Fantasy Adventure series
published by Patchwork Press
Join forces with a parallel universe.
Dark forces, magical creatures, and the world Lil thought she knew collide when a dream transports her to the strange world of Orenda. Stunned and terrified, Lil comes face to face with her doppelganger, Willow, who possesses the ability to travel between the two worlds. Everything Lil knows logically says that Orenda can't exist, but a small clue may be proof that it was more than an ordinary dream. With the threat of her younger sister in danger, Lil crosses dimensions but it may cost her even more than she bargained for.
A sword wielding girl, the eternal suit, and a parallel universe come together in this action-packed Young Adult fantasy adventure that will keep readers of all ages turning the pages. Orenda is the first novel in the Orenda series.
Excerpt:
Lil stood firm, sword-in-hand, staring at the beast as it flew directly
at her. “How do I kill it?” She raised the sword above her head with two
hands.
Hudson glanced at her. “With what we taught you. The dragon is no
different than a man.”
“It has wings and is flying at me. I’d say it’s different!”

Note: Although
the main characters of this novel are married, I do not recommend it to
anyone who avoids reading stories that contain inappropriate content
(kissing, how they feel when they do it, etc.). There are people whose religious beliefs have given them a deeper understanding of how sacred love is between two people who are married. So, it must be treated with respect and should not be within reach of an outsider's imagination. I had to mention that
because I am one of them.
