Welcome to Book Three in the Finding Narnia series
Preface:
In case you missed the first two books...
Book One: Traces of Narnia:
A story set in the Spring of 1942, Great Britain at the boarding schools. Peter Pevensie struggles with his final return from Narnia after helping set Prince Caspian on the throne. He meets original character April, a stranger who assists him on his journey and who knows things about Narnia that no other human should know. Peter discovers a great love and that Traces of Narnia do exist in the real world. Peter and April discover truths about themselves, each other, Narnia, and Aslan that are surprising and fun. There are also challenges to face including an unspeakable evil that they unknowingly unleash. The story includes all four Pevensie siblings: Peter age 15; Susan 14; Edmund 12; and Lucy 10. The new character, April, is 16. It is based on a combination of the books by C.S. Lewis and the movies. (Romance and Drama, Rated T for love.)
Book Two: Engagements of Narnia: To engage means to enter into battle, pledge, and unite. In this sequel to Traces of Narnia there are real world battles to be fought with enemies, the heart, and the mind. Join Peter, his siblings, and original character April, as they encounter a remembered foe. Then Peter and April must unite to face the challenges that stand in the way of their future. Their love deepens and grows and then a pledge is made that will take them to a place Peter never thought he would return to. (Romance and drama with some action and spiritual themes. Rated T for love and slight violence.)
Book Three: Promises of Narnia. In this sequel to Engagements of Narnia, discover the wonderful Narnian adventures that await High King Peter and soon-to-be Queen April. However, they and their Country are in very real danger. As they fight to unravel the mystery, they will learn what it means to truly become one: discovering promises of a deep love, an unending hope, and a lasting faith in each other. (Slight AU for timeline and Peter's return to Narnia. Mostly a romance novel, with a bit of intrigue and action thrown in for fun.)
Rating: Teen for love and romance and some minor violence. Parts of chapters 10-12,17, 20, 23, 24 are rated Mature for sexuality within the context of marriage. Chapters 22-23 contain mild violence and some potential depression triggers. There will never be any slash, incest, or gore.
Disclaimer: All characters and locations and the world of Narnia belongs to C.S. Lewis and I am just happy to imagine scenarios with the wonderful world and rich characters he created!
Acknowledgements: Thank you to Wildhorses1492 for doing a fabulous job as a beta and editor. Her talents are evident up through Chapter 12. (After that, the chapters are self-edited. Please let me know if you have any corrections.) Her support and candid comments were a blessing! To all of the many fantastic Narnia world-builders out there, you are an inspiration. A special thank you to Rthstewart whose encouragement and mentorship has made all the difference. And, both Rthstewart and Sushi were kind enough to lend me concepts out of their Narnia works to play with.
Introduction: When we last left Peter and April, April had just accepted Peter's marriage proposal and they discovered a portal in the forest leading to Narnia. April reluctantly followed a very enthusiastic Peter and they found themselves on the beach in Narnia below an intact Cair Paravel. Aslan appeared and explained why he allowed Peter's return to Narnia and promised to be back in two weeks to marry them.
