Alter - Joanna Pettersson - Bog

Alter is a story of courage, passion, and selflessness. In a world ruled by Gods, Goddesses and Fate, two Princes meet - perhaps it is better to say clash. Alter, The Chosen One, tells his memoirs at a breathtaking pace. Flashbacks, returns to the present, twists and turns set the pace for the writing of this compelling story. The son of the Gods and the son of Demons: what can happen when two opposing people, two worlds that have always fought each other, come together? Intrigue, kidnapping, revenge, and magic frame the meeting of two souls. The royal obligations of Alter and Malager only complicate the relationship between the two. Not even the help of all the Gods and Goddesses will prevent the Reader from getting involved in this overwhelming adventure.
