The beginning of any great change comes from a seed of an idea, forming the base elements of growth and the stories we tell one another. As William Shakespeare once said, “We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from… Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.”
In author Lisa Boomhower’s The Crown of Unity, a young witch finds herself in the midst of a battle to save a crumbling kingdom as a nefarious King sets his eyes on her to be his bride, all the while she is conspiring with a former prince and a light witch to save the people and take down a corrupt ruler. A realm filled with fantastical creatures and magic, this is the story of a facing adversity through a unified front and overcoming the past for a brighter future.
