RE-RELEASED 2020 ★SEPARATED AT BIRTH ★NEITHER KNOWS OF THE OTHER’S EXISTENCE ★A CONNECTION THAT DEFIES ALL HUMAN UNDERSTANDING ★THEY ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH DESTINY As an infant, Brielle was abandoned with only the clothes she wore and not knowing her origins. Despite this bleak beginning, she was fortunate to have been adopted by a loving couple and raised with all the benefits of an upper-middle-class existence. On the verge of graduation from college and acceptance into the Medical School program of her dreams, she has long since put the mysteries of her birth in the rearview mirror. However, she is tethered to the past by one tiny flaw. She sees, feels, and hears things that aren’t real! Her visions have always been a part of her, and learning to cope with them over the years as therapists, medical trials, and even ‘untraditional’ treatments failed was just part of life as she knew it. Unfortunately, what was once just a nuisance to her mental state is escalating as each ‘episode’ becomes more violent, and the visions threaten everything she has worked to accomplish. Sarai’s parents have always lived outside the grasp of rational society’s rules and regulations. Having been raised in various communities around the country without the benefit of medical care, school, or socialization, Sarai can only explore the outside world through the written word her mother taught her to love from an early age. Her mother is the one beacon of light in Sarai’s dark and miserable existence, along with the visions she enjoys of life out in the sunshine. These visions of an existence filled with laughter, joy, and love carry her through the worst ‘discipline’ her father can dole out. Despite the firm hand her father has always wielded on all aspects of her life; she will defy him to fulfill her mother’s strange request. That single moment’s decision will begin to unravel a mystery, decades in the making, which will propel Sarai on a journey toward self-discovery and escape from her father’s dictates. Unfortunately, as Sarai and Brielle’s paths hurtle towards an overlap, will they find a happily ever after? Will the love that both deserve find them, despite all the odds stacked against them?

About The Cornish Princess (The Goldenchild Prophecy Book 1):
“I love historical legends woven into breathtaking new stories. The Goldenchild Prophecy is just one of those, yet an epic story all on its own. Tanya breathes life into this timeless tale of love and betrayal, blurring the lines of fantasy and history. —Jeff Wheeler, Wall Street Journal bestselling author
Before there was a Winter King, there was a Summer Queen—Gwendolyn of Cornwall, a warrior princess who raised an army to unite a nation.
Said to be a changeling child left to the King and Queen of Cornwall, Gwendolyn is “blessed” at her cradle by three Fae gifts: a prophecy for her future, a gift of “Reflection,” and a golden mane—literally, every lock of her hair will turn to gold, provided it is cut by her one true love. But no one understands more than Gwendolyn that her blessings are really curses.
Any man who gazes upon her face will see his own heart reflected in Gwendolyn’s countenance, and depending on his nature, she is the loveliest woman in the land… or the most hideous. It’s a cruel jest of the capricious Fae, for unless a man’s heart is true, Gwendolyn is destined to be coveted for her crown, but despised for her face…
To make matters worse, her ailing father is desperate for an alliance with Brutus of Loegria. Offered to Brutus’s ambitious son, Locrinus, Gwendolyn’s heart is tempted by a mysterious half-blood Fae whom she can never wed if she is to fulfill her crib side prophecy.
If you love British lore and longed to dive headlong into its beginnings…
If you hoped to meet the “tribe of the gods” who left their mark upon the British Isles…
If you’re ready to embark on a magical journey into the dawn of Britain…
Part 1 of an exciting, new fantasy series.

“Exquisite, lyrical, powerful, and haunting, The Cornish Princess is a heroine for the ages. Gwendolyn of Cornwall’s epic journey from the Golden Child of Prophecy to that of a warrior and defender of her people will remain in your heart long after you finish the last page.” — Kimberly Cates, USA Today Bestselling Author
