The Lost Queen (a Caspian Romance)

Prologue

Long ago in the beautiful land of Narnia, four children ruled. They commanded their country with wisdom, love, and honour, and as they aged, their virtues ripened still more.

In the latest of their years, the eye of one was caught by a beautiful river nymph, Adelaide. The passion of their friendship, and later love, resulted in a child, born seven months after her father's disappearance.

The child grew with beauty to rival her mother's, while the virtuous traits of her father impressed upon her as firmly as if he had raised her himself. Her graciousness as she grew from princess to queen only grew with her, along with her desire to know her father.

The Queen ruled long after her mother's death until the very day of the Telmarine's attack and was never seen again...or so they thought.
