Illusional Reality
by
Karina Kantas
Genre:
YA Romantic Fantasy
‘Romance,
Magic, Action…Illusional Reality has it all.’ Emily
Woodmansee
Nobody
expects to stare death in the face only to find out your entire life
is a lie. Rescued by Salco, marketing executive Becky finds herself
in an unknown magical world filled with happy people that try to
forget their land is on the brink of destruction.
Becky
will soon learn that her arrival is no accident. If learning that she
is Thya, the heir of the enchanting land isn’t enough, she’s then
told that an Oracle prophesied that she will save the gentle Tsinians
from slavery and domination by Darthorn, the Warlord of Senx.
It
is at a festival where she is introduced to the Tsinian council and
her kinsmen, that she learns the whole truth. The council are so
certain that a union between Darthorn’s son, Kovon and Thya will
create peace between the two lands. However, Darthorn has plans for
Tsinia as does Kovon for Thya and neither are good.
Although
her future has been planned and if she is to save Tsinia she must
marry Kovon, Thya gives her heart to another. A love that is
forbidden and dangerous.
Illusional
Reality is a story about hope, courage, love and sacrifice.
‘This
story is unique. No typical fantasy stereotyping.’
“Wow, that was
amazing. I have never seen anything like it. You really do get caught
up in it, do you not?” Omad and Alkazar
laughed.
Siren left to speak
to a friend, and soon Omad made his excuses to leave. “If you will
absolve my departure, my lady, I speculate that my fellow Tsinians
desire to converse.”
Thya watched as
Omad walked over to a group of Tsinians that were similar in dress.
They patted him on his back as if in congratulations.
She turned her
attention back to Alkazar. She smiled at him and their eyes locked,
until Alkazar broke away. “Who do you
surmise will be victorious?” he asked.
“I am sure the
silver knights will win. They seem to be the stronger of the two. You
are more familiar with the game, who do you think will win my
favour?”
Alkazar laughed.
“Nay, my lady. I disagree with your outcome. The team coloured red
will triumph, for they are swifter.” “Oh, I agree. The
red dragons have more speed. Call it woman's intuition, if you will,
only I am certain the silver knights will win.”
Alkazar threw back
his head and laughed. “You possess strange expressions, Thya.
Although if we ruled our land on intuition, as you name it, we would
have lost our land to Darthorn long ago.” Alkazar regretted
his words as soon as they left his lips, although Thya seemed
unaffected by his comment. “So, a bet then?”
she cried. “What will you give me if my team wins?” “You retain the
whole of Tsinia at your feet. What could I possess that you would
claim as your reward?” Thya didn't reply.
Leaning in closer,
he lowered his voice. “More to the point, my lady, what could you
offer me?” His eyes bored into her soul. “Alas, regretfully, I
will decline.”
“Why so?” Thya
asked. His eyes shone as
did his smile. “I do not gamble for I am fearful of the amount I
could lose." He smiled again,
only his eyes saddened and his grin faded. “Pardon, my lady.
Unfortunately, I am requested elsewhere. I hope you enjoy the
remainder of the tournament. I look forward to concluding our
conversation.” He bowed, and then left. To Thya's annoyance, Siren met him. She
took his arm and guided him to the other side of the arena, but not
before glancing over her shoulder and giving Thya a look of triumph.
Thya turned away, when what she should have done was smile and wave
back. Why give Siren the satisfaction of knowing how uncomfortable
she was at seeing.

Hi Becky can you just tell our readers
what your relationship status is on Facebook.
I’m single. I’ve dated of course. My friends set me up with a disastrous blind date but that’s tale for another time.
Do you believe in Mr Right?
Yes, I believe there is such thing as true love and that your soul mate is out there somewhere. But the world is a big place, you may never find one another, so you take what you can get. I’m not interested in meeting anyone and settling down. I like things the way they are.
What is love to you?
“What is love? Love hurts. When you’re full of happiness you feel as though you could burst. With every smile, every time you hold hands, every warm and gentle touch can leave you melting. You want to stay cuddled together, warm, safe.
How could you be so lucky to have found each other. But you worry that it can be taken away just as quickly as it was given to you.
Treasure every moment of love and happiness as it may not last and if you’re one of the lucky ones it can last an eternity.”
You sound as though you have experienced love?
“Only in my dreams.”
Can you elaborate?
“It’s going to sound silly but I have these dreams where I’m with a man and I can feel his love and devotion to me. It’s like a warmth flowing through my body. I trust him completely and know he is the one. But I never see his face. So yes, I believe the man that will complete me is out there, somewhere.
Thank you for taking the time to talk to us Becky.
