Family Sets Out to Save Teenager Immersed in Shadowy Forest within Underwater Realm
PORTLAND, Australia (PRWEB) June 04, 2019 -- In “Checkmate” (published by Balboa Press AU), a young adult fantasy novella by author Helen Keltie, young earthlings and their underwater friends continue their escapade through sea and land where good battles evil and the past confronts the present in the final novel of the “Nepta” trilogy.
Taking place in an underwater realm, Nepta and his 16-year-old sister, Coralie, begin boarding school. After sighting Alptraum’s haunted kelp forest from her room, the ever-curious Coralie sets out to explore it, despite warnings from others. While wandering around, she encounters a prince who is held captive and grants her mysterious powers to save him.
As Coralie works to free the prince, she must plot work against Gwilda, the white witch, antagonizing her. Hoping to save Coralie from herself and end her travels between reality and the forest world, her friends and family set out to find the truth.
“Most young adults like magic and fantasy,” Keltie says, adding that she wants readers to take away “a sense of escapism and just punishment to the trouble-makers.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.amazon.in/Checkmate-Helen-Keltie/dp/1504310381.
