The Eros Guardian idea came about when I read the tragic tale of Amnon and Tamar, an Old Testament story in which King David’s beautiful daughter Tamar is shamed and cast out of her father’s palace, all because her half brother Amnon felt she was his for the taking. How did you come up with this and develop your concept? Our hero, Jonas, is descended from the Eros Guardian line- where he is cursed to endure a test of true love or forever be alone. Your mythology is so intriguing in the novel. She’s the kind of princess I’d like my daughter to look up to. Firstly, because of her Polynesian heritage and its links to Maori culture (We Aussies like to support our New Zealand neighbors wherever we can, unless it comes to rugby!), but also because of Moana’s strong, adventurous, and brave character. But success may cost him his own life…and the loss of his carefully guarded heart to the one girl far too sensible to fall for him.Īmazon | B&N | iBooks | Kobo | Entangled Publishing The Interview Since this is Book Princess Reviews, I have to ask: who is your favorite Princess and why?Įasy!
