“A potential game-changer in the world of young adult fiction.” – Review on Goodreads

“Original. Well-crafted and believable characters.” – Kirkus Reviews

Elly Celendis is about to turn twelve years old in the elven realm of Alendria. Life is far from smooth-sailing for this wild-haired and inquisitive young elf, and magic certainly does not solve her biggest problems. Convinced she will be a wallflower, she is dreading the lavish birthday party that her mother has planned for her. She hates going to school, where she is tormented by a pink-loving trio nicknamed the Three Flamingos. To top it off, she has been plagued by intense fears about an upcoming class presentation as well as puzzling dreams and visions. Honestly, how much more can she take?

Apparently, quite a bit more.

In this original fantasy tale, an oddball elf who embarks on the adventure of her life is about to realize powerful forces are at play in Alendria and the human realm that are far more sinister than she ever imagined.

Kathryn Tse-Durham completed a Master’s in Speech Pathology Studies after graduating with a Bachelor degree majoring in Clinical Psychology with Honours, minoring in Linguistics. She has always loved art and writing, and like all aspiring writers, her dream was to share her view and vision to a wider audience. Not one to simply sit around, she was proactive and took the first few steps to making her dream a reality. In 2009, she completed a creative writing course through the University of Oxford.

Through passion, persistence and sheer hard work, her small inkling of an idea morphed into a planned series, The Ellanor Chronicles. The first two instalments have been independently published: Ellanor and the Search for Organoth Blue Amber (2014) , which was a Finalist in the Fantasy genre at the International Book Awards 2015; and its sequel Ellanor and the Curse on the Nine-Tailed Fox (2015).
