Bellator’s Quest to Restore the World – Collette Vosloo

A5, 355p.

Suitable for all ages, Bellator’s quest to restore the world shows how anyone of any age and from anywhere can influence their world if they have hope, work together, and celebrate the beauty—and humour—amid the shadows. This book is for all those who, with ageless joy and daring, notice and celebrate all that is beautiful, pure, and good. It is for those needing a fresh perspective to navigate life’s shadows—light wins, hope wins, love wins.

When the redhead Bellator visits the Ancient Ruin in Heart, a site out of bounds since the Great Betrayal, he sees the Elders open The Way to Anveeh. Of course, he remembers these words and simply must try them… And thus begins an adventure that will change the fate of Heart.

Bellator gets an unexpected audience with Ahava, the King of Anveeh, who commissions him to restore the three Oracles of Heartean society: Liberty, Plenty, and Glory. Their restoration is necessary if the two worlds, Heart and Anveeh, are to be joined again. The Restoration sets out to thwart the plans of the Rebellion; a growing group of power-hungry and self-seeking creatures making use of the shadow tools to overthrow Heart and dethrone Ahava. The Restoration gets help from unexpected places; learns that challenges can be solved by many creative means; faces their doubts about their own abilities, and doubts about Ahava’s character. They experience the power of hope as well as sacrifice, forgiveness, and gratitude.
