A Prophecy made long ago, announced the arrival of the new
Ladies of Elements.
And now almost a millennia later, it finally came true …
All her life Arima thought she knew who and what she was.
That is until the day of her sixteenth birthday came and her world is turned
upside down, when she’s told she’s not a White Witch but Lady Spirit. And that
she is the one that has been foretold, will unite the Five Ladies of Elements
once again and save Ilendia and the Other Lands from Ahriman, the Demon King.
At first Arima refuses to accept her new fate, but when
Shanums come and destroy her village and kill her loved ones, she has no choice
but to flee and fall right into the destiny she never wanted.
As she grudgingly starts her journey into the unknown, she
is accompanied by her unicorn familiar Sirrim, Blythe, a Vampire with a dark
past and Myrddin, a mysterious Ljosalfar.
And the longer her journey lasts, the more Arima begins to
realise that she can’t escape her own destiny and she must learn to control her
powers and learn to be a Lady for the sake of the Sisters she doesn’t know and
the people of Ilendia and the Other Lands.
However, things get more complicated when Arima comes into
the possession of a key. Her instincts compel her to go towards danger when she
discovers that the key she holds, can unlock the legendary kingdom of Eléssima,
the home of the Ladies of Elements.
She will have to make the choice to follow her instincts …
…or stay on the path that has been laid out for her.
Stephanie Beerden was born on Friday the 13th (no joke, she
really was) in a small city called Genk and has always been fascinated with the
occult, magic and books.
Her childhood and teen years were filled with reading lots
and lots of books and imagining what life would be like as a vampire.
Until one day she decided that she wanted to try her hand at
writing her own books and that was the beginning of her writing adventure.
Her first book is a YA Fantasy called De Elementen – Het
Verloren Koninkrijk and after many, many trials and tribulations, one small
Dutch publisher decided “Hey, let’s give this girl a shot”. Her second book De
Elementen – Archandir was published in July 2013 and in April 2014, she
indie-published The Lost Kingdom (The Elements Series #1), the English edition
of her book.
Stephanie hopes to keep writing for as long as she can and
already has several writing projects in the works for the future.
