Inside the Bella Santini Chronicles
Three fantasy adventures that walk beside children through their biggest feelings, building emotional awareness, empathy, and trust in themselves one story at a time. The journey reads richest in order, beginning with Book One.
Book One: In the Land of Everlasting Change
Thoughtful and sensitive, Bella follows a trail of glowing lights into a magical realm and lands at a fairy school, where trial after trial tests her confidence and her choices. Through every challenge she learns that real strength was never about being fearless. It was about learning to stand steady when the world feels uncertain.
Book Two: In the Troll War
“A remarkable, heroic protagonist.”Kirkus Reviews
Life at Yelimoon Fairy School was meant to be a fresh start, until secrets surface, her aunt plots for the throne, and an army of trolls begins to march. With darkness pressing in from every side, Bella discovers the one power no bully and no shadow can defeat. It is love, and it was inside her all along.
Book Three: Princess Bella Visits the Dragon’s Lair
Now crown princess, Bella must choose a dragon protector. The obvious choice is the one everyone admires, yet when danger rises from the Plains of Despair she learns that power without awareness can become its own kind of threat. Separated from certainty, she must trust what she alone knows to be true.
