Nadia’s Heart, Part Two
by Wendy Altshuler
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In
Nadia's Heart, Part One, amnesiac Nadia knew that something was wrong, so she
went in search of her missing heart. What she encountered has only brought more
questions: about her origins and her ties to the people of the Land of Silence.
She learned that her heart was indeed removed, and that her memory was erased
by an evil Voice. But why? Now Nadia and her glowing-eyed companion,
Georgeonus, must help recover the stolen hearts of the children of the Land of
Silence. In Part Two, they will do battle against the evil Voice and travel to
frightening places. They receive help from a powerful Witch and Wizard, and
Nadia gets her heart back—but it's not at all what she expected. Can they
rescue the stolen children's hearts in time?

EXCERPT THREE:
From Chapter VII: The Nether Regions:
“Mabel,”
said Nadia, “how did you get down here? Did Georgeonus and Holofernes make it?
Are they okay?”
Mabel
smiled patiently, helping Nadia to step away from the table.
“Oh,
I suspect they’re fine now” was her reply.
“But—”
“Come,”
she said, turning. She pulled her wand from her pocket, pointed it at the
cloth, and the wrap sewed itself into pants and a belted tunic.
“But—”
“We
cannot linger here,” Mabel warned, turning to walk briskly.
Nadia
caught up to her. “Aren’t we in the canyon?”
“No,
Nadia.”
“Then
where are we?”
“We
are in the Otherworld. We mustn’t linger!”
Nadia
did not press the matter, but followed Mabel closely, striving to keep up. She
had the feeling that they were neither in the underworld nor in a canyon. She
remembered the ice castle constructed by the Voice. It seemed so long ago now.
In that castle, when her thoughts perceived that perhaps it was not there at
all, it would come into and out of view, disappearing before her. It was the
same with this canyon. This time, she perceived her own illusion. When it
faded, all she could see was light.
“Take
my hand, Nadia!” said Mabel urgently, in a tone which alarmed her, and in a
moment Nadia’s hand found Mabel’s, which clutched hers back. Mabel’s other hand
came around Nadia’s waist and drew her close, and suddenly they were being
sucked through some type of funnel. It was not comfortable; it felt dangerous,
and there was great pressure all around penetrating Nadia’s cells.
