"Lynn Kilbride has a gift for transporting her readers into the story as they follow Sagesse and Stärke from shipwreck to convent, from combat to formal masquerade ball. The pair and their companions, led by the Holy Spirit, unravel the secrets of the mysterious journals left in their care. Their friendships and rivalries lead them into amusing antics and perilous predicaments as they learn to appreciate each other's God-given talents and work together." --Kathleen Kuper, Educator, Preschool and K-9 "The main characters are an unexpected group, each with unique and specific strengths and perspectives. The imagery used is phenomenal, and the plot is intriguing with espionage. This book is a great blend of friendship, spirituality, romance, and action and will appeal to many different types of readers. The final chapter leaves the reader hungering for more adventures with this growing group of young women." --Diane Craven, Parish Liturgical Coordinator, Our Lady of Hope Catholic Parish.
