Plot Summary of Wizard's Moon
"

ImaJinn, May 2002, 14.50, 336 pp.
ISBN: 1893896625


Boaz, Lilith and Jachin were born in Sena, otherwise known as the world of Avalon, but were brought to Earth by their mother who mysteriously vanished. The triplets were separated and brought up by different sets of parents never knowing their magical heritage.

Boaz, accompanied by her best friend Angela, travels to her Aunt Marrion's home where she finally learns the truth about her heritage. Boaz and Angela then journey to Jachin's house and tell him the truth about his past. At first he doesn't believe them but when they journey to Sena to rescue their sister Lilith held hostage by an evil wizard, he is forced to recognize the truth about himself. He also realizes that he loves Angela (who reciprocates the feeling) but he knows that a match between a mundane Earthling and a Sena wizard can never be.

WIZARD'S MOON is a beautiful romantic fantasy, a charming adult fairy tale complete with a handsome hero, a fair damsel and an evil magician. The world of Avalon contains fire breathing dragons and tiny fairies that seem so real readers will call travel agents to book passage to the island. Rebecca Anderson is a talented storyteller who creates characters the audience cherishes.
