About the Book
Three stories. Four princesses. Yet all are bound by the fate of two crystal rings in this Christian fantasy book filled with diverse characters, sweet romances, and magic.
In "Time Dancers," Calina's one wish as she turns "of age" is to marry a young, handsome prince. But her father soon reveals her betrothed as a king twice her age. She is further insulted when her husband-to-be gives her a magic mirror, inside of which she watches a vision of herself waltzing with a young, handsome prince every night. However, through the mirror and the aid of a unique crystal ring, she will discover true love.
In "Silver Prince," Catina dares to enter the Dark Wood against her brother's warnings. Instead of danger, she meets Hadyn, Alpha of the Wolfsbane people. Through him, she will discover love, but also the truth behind years of lies and twisted legends. What will she do with that truth when she is forced to choose between her brother and her new love?
Finally, in "Sisters of the Rings," Calista and Shara are the only two Iceans in the entire Spaniño Isle, possibly in the entire world. When their kingdoms fall under siege, both princesses are forced to flee their Spaniño homes. They meet each other, only to discover that they are linked by the crystal rings given them by their adoptive parents, and that this link is more powerful than either of them ever could have imagined.
Revel in the magic and romance found in the adventures of these four princesses and discover how they are all bound together by The Crystal Rings.
What Readers Are Saying
"I enjoyed reading this book. It was well worth my time. I've read another book by this author and and I really liked it, too. I would recommend any of her books."
Anne M. Stalker, Amazon
"The three short stories were fantastic. I am not into love stories typically, however, the author does such a good job of telling her story that you do not get hung up on the love in the story. I am hooked and now I need to read some more of her writing."
Steven R. Burke, Amazon
"I found this to be a completely enjoyable collection of stories that I would have LOVED to read as a young adult. They are full of fantasy and light romance and good values, but not so preachy that you get annoyed. Based on these I would love to read more of the author's work, which is a great complement."
Kristen Morris, Goodreads
"Christine E. Schulze has such a magical way with words that will leave you remembering her stories and longing to read more from her."
Alegna, Goodreads
"This is such an enjoyable read, brought back memories of how much I enjoyed reading fables and fairy tales. Each story in this book is wonderful by itself, but together weave a fascinating story of good overcoming evil. I look forward to reading more from this author."

About the Author: Christine E. Schulze has been living in castles, exploring magical worlds, and creating fantastical romances and adventures since she was too young to even write of such stories. Her collection of YA, MG, and children's fantasy adventure books, The Amielian Legacy, is comprised of series and stand-alone books that can all be read separately but also weave together to create a single, amazing fantasy. One of her main aspirations for The Amielian Legacy is to create grand fantasy adventures with characters that connect with readers from many different backgrounds. She has always believed strongly in including diversity in her books; right now her focus is on including racial diversity and characters with developmental disabilities. The latter is inspired by Schulze working with adults with autism and other developmental disabilities at Trinity Services in Southern Illinois. She also donates 25% of all royalties to ALFA, a local charity that supports many of Trinity's programs. Some of her exciting ventures include the publication of her award-winning Bloodmaiden, as well as The Stregoni Sequence and The Chronicles of the Mira with Writers-Exchange in both paperback and electronic forms. Her published books for younger readers include In the Land of Giants, The Amazing K, and The Adventures of William the Brownie. Her most recent project includes the professional re-editing and remastering of two YA fantasy series, The Gailean Quartet and The Hero Chronicles, the latter of which will be released under the new name A Shadow Beyond Time. For this series, she has also brought an amazing new co-author onto her team, Kira Lerner, whom she has used many a time as her editor for other works.
