This novel, although fiction, is based on a true story. The story is one of prodigies, of magic, of truth and righteousness and last but not least, of love; for every answer to every question lives inside of love. The Jewel of the Crown is one of three novels- a trilogy. The sequel that will follow is the novel- The War of Holy Hell, which will pick up where this novel leaves off. The story of the Jewels of the Crown in genre is considered a paranormal love story, however has a strong Christian undertone. My novel dictates a story of good verses evil; for one cannot believe in one and not the other, as they both equally exist. If you are a Christian who believes in your God and in your Lord Jesus Christ, this novel will lighten your heart, renew your faith and bring you hope. If you are a non-believer, I challenge you to read this novel anyway and with an open mind and think outside the box. Ask yourself, could there be a chance that I am wrong?
