The Realm of Vallen: Battle of Brothers

For Stella, the only thing harder than being a single mother is trying to move on with her life since her husband left. She now spends her days caring for her two children while working her first full-time job. On top of all that, she recently traveled to an enchanting new world during her sleep.

The first book in a high fantasy trilogy, The Realm of Vallen: Battle of Brothers finds Stella awakening in a dark and murky cave. Blinded and frightened, she somehow manages to find her way out, only to be greeted by a man and woman who introduce themselves as her guardians in the Realm of Vallen. Walking down a glistening pathway through a covered autumn forest, she learns that she is not dreaming. In fact, she has entered world whose power has also created Earth.

With each travel, Stella discovers qualities within herself she never knew existed. It does not take long before her days on Earth and nights on Arde become a struggle in her daily life. Not having a say in when she travels to the realms or when she returns home makes for a struggle she is not prepared for.

Each night, she falls asleep wondering, whether she will wake up to the ceiling above her bed or in a surreal world ruled by kings and queens, with barbarous beasts and mystical lands-a world of extraordinary adventures and empowering challenges.
