a note from the author
This project started years ago with a girl who popped into my mind and didn’t want to leave. Even as I worked on other stories, Gisela was never far away. She was looking for love, acceptance, some humor, and peace for her country—things most of us hope for in one form or another. I hope you enjoy her journey. If you have a spare minute, please leave a quick review of this story on Goodreads, Amazon, and share with your friends. Thanks!
Along with the novel, I wanted to tell Gisela's story musically.
I've composed 11 original piano solos in the classical/new-age style, like a soundtrack of sorts. I suppose it’s two different ways to tell the same story. Songs include: “The Betrothal,” “Ryder,” “The Battlefield,” “Vengeance,” “Tranquility,” “The Dungeon,” and more.

albinism
Albinism is a group of inherited disorders where there is little or no production of the pigment melanin which determines a person’s skin, hair, and eye color. Melanin also plays a role in the development of optic nerves, so albinism also causes vision problems. Roughly 1 in 17,000 people worldwide have albinism today, with some areas containing as many as 1 in 3,000. Albinism affects all racial and ethnic groups. Hair and skin coloring can vary from white to brown, with people of African descent having more yellow or reddish-brown hair. Eye colors range from very light blue to brown.
Even in our modern world, some continue to believe that people born with albinism are cursed or magical. Witchdoctors still sell body parts of albinos on the black market, which is unthinkable. Even in civilized societies, people with albinism are often feared, ridiculed, or cast as the “bad guy” in movies or books. Education can change the world. Please be kind to these angels on earth.

Delighted with the way the story line took on several unusual twists and turns. The vulnerable, the brave and the corrupt were blended . . . to create an epic historical drama which kept me reading late into the night.
