Prologue

Out among the rolling hills of the British countryside, the sun shone brightly down on the occupants of a stately estate. The occupants were all dressed in extravagant finery, present to attend the wedding of Maya Braddock and Raj Patel. Among the group was the bride's sister, currently serving tea to the wedding guests mingling amongst each other while the bride and groom circled the lawn and greeted the guests as a married couple.

Now, nothing about this woman of European descent was overly special that she would be considered important by any stretch of the imagination. Granted, she was breathtakingly beautiful, with a bright smile for everyone. She was a hard worker, striving to make a good life for her baby daughter, and she was incredibly strong-willed, surviving and pushing through experiences that would shatter most others. However, she was soon going to learn that she played a key role in the fate of a magical land.

How would she discover this, you may ask?

Through a painting in her bedroom on the top floor of this very estate that she had never noticed before.
