BLURB:
In
Nadia's Heart, Part One, amnesiac Nadia knew that something was wrong, so she
went in search of her missing heart. What she encountered has only brought more
questions: about her origins and her ties to the people of the Land of Silence.
She learned that her heart was indeed removed, and that her memory was erased
by an evil Voice. But why? Now Nadia and her glowing-eyed companion,
Georgeonus, must help recover the stolen hearts of the children of the Land of
Silence. In Part Two, they will do battle against the evil Voice and travel to
frightening places. They receive help from a powerful Witch and Wizard, and
Nadia gets her heart back—but it's not at all what she expected. Can they
rescue the stolen children's hearts in time?

Excerpt :
From Chapter III: Fighting Back:
They headed for the road, away from the castle tumbling
toward them, hoping the mountain itself would hold until they could get to the
bottom. But what awaited them at the bottom was a sheet of ice, and it too
could crack and send them down into the frigid deep.
She had never driven a sleigh nor a team of dogs before. The
pure instinct of survival now taught her. As they rounded the rough road, more
slippery now as they gathered speed, their path looked grim. Giant chunks of
the castle came descending down, hitting the mountain’s jagged sides and
causing avalanches of huge falling debris. The children screamed, and Nadia
wanted to do the same and take refuge closer in toward the mountain, but there
was nothing that would shelter them. She kept focused on the dogs in front of
her, thinking only of getting to the bottom. Cascading from above came another
rock, and the children held onto the sleighs, terrified. Nadia tried to turn
the sleigh toward the mountain to avoid it. They swerved dangerously around the
edge of the road.
Something also descended from the sky. It was a black
figure, but Nadia could not even think about another potential threat as the
second sleigh bore down upon them, rushing behind her. They swerved back to a
straight course, barely missing the rolling boulder which crashed onto the
road.
