Kiara's Quest — Zoe Matthews

Kiara has lived in Heatherwood, a small village in Ireland, her entire life. Her village is ruled by a kind and very handsome sorcerer, Lord Ardan. When Kiara was 21 years old, her village prepared for an important Once-in-a-Century ceremony. During an important ceremony of her village, Lord Ardan chooses Kiara to be his new bride.

Kiara spends the next few months getting to know her new husband. She also makes new friends, meets Lord Ardan's family, and learns about the mysterious world of Xoralia. Kiara is fascinated by Ardan's world and his powers. Then they discover that Heatherwood is in danger of being attacked by an evil sorcerer and Kiara works with Lord Ardan to help protect her village. During this time, she discovers she has powers of her own.

Throughout all of this, Kiara learns that it is important to prepare for her future and become the person she was born to be. She also learns that a deep love can happen with the right person, even if he is a sorcerer.
