Izabella
A Historical Fantasy Novel
She loves a man accused of murder.
Fitting he would abandon her the day she needed him most.
Years later, Queen Izabella stands on the brink of war and finds herself desperate for the army of a neighboring kingdom. Izabella must put her feelings aside and do what her people need. Marry the prince. Secure his army. With a dark enemy threatening her beloved kingdom, the last thing she expects to find is a thriving James Inglewood.
Love blooms in her heart, but with a traitor in her midst and a castle attack, fear threatens to cloud her vision. Izabella desperately clings to the belief that God will see her through, but will her kingdom survive the darkness? Can Izabella trust the man she has chosen to be her husband?
Full of determined faith and raw hope, Izabella is a story of grit and God’s unending faithfulness. Fans of the exotic scenery in By Blood and Blade and the riveting action in Calor will thrill over the sharp dialogue and immersive cultures found in Izabella, Book One in the Crowns of Hesperia series.
New Author
Melissa M. Scott
An avid reader, my favorite stories entwine the truths of God’s love with the thrill of a tale that moves you.
Many of us have felt those other worldly moments of connection–exploring in nature, soaking up a beloved song, or revelling in the words of a good book–those times when seconds stretch into eternity.
It is in those moments, we learn God’s love has always been. From the first word of creation, He spoke through eternity to reach us, to draw us to His heart, to mend the broken paths.
As we grow up, we often lose that imaginative spark, the ability to hear the Spirit’s whisper.
Will you join me in seeking Him in wonder again? Will you join me in tuning hearts for another world?
