A new spin on "The Magic Flute" by an acclaimed author!

In a time when the world was young and many things were quite commonplace that are now entirely forgotten, Sarastro, Mage of the Day, wed Pamina, the Queen of the Night. And in this way was the world complete, for light was joined to dark. For all time would they be joined together. Only the ending of the world could tear them apart. In other words, in the days in which my parents married, there was no such thing as divorce....

Thus begins the tale of Mina, a girl-child born on the longest night of the darkest month of the year. When her father looked at her, all he saw was what he feared: By birth, by name, by nature, she belonged to the Dark. So when Mina turned sixteen, her father took her away from shadow and brought her into sunlight.

In retaliation, her mother lured a handsome prince into a deadly agreement: If he frees Mina, he can claim her as his bride.

Now Mina and her prince must endure deadly trials — of love and fate and family — before they can truly live happily ever after....

Synopsis:

This retelling of "The Magic Flute" is the story of Mina, the daughter of the Mage of the Day and the Queen of the Night, who must endure deadly trials of love, fate, and family before she and her prince can live happily ever after. Original.

Another wonderful book by Cameron Dokey! Sunlight and Shadow is a revision of a opera. But you wouldn't know it by reading this book. It was filled with wonderful twists and turns and is a book you just wont want to put down. Throughout the book the story is told from the view points of several main characters. A wonderful book and a must read.
