The End of Paradise Julie Oda

Everyone has heard about it: the ongoing war between Good and Evil. That familiar theme has found itself in movies, books, and lodged itself deep within our wildest fantasies. It could happen anytime, too. You could be watching TV, brushing your teeth, shopping at the local grocery store when the news comes that you are mankind's last hope. It's strange but most find our young-selves secretly wishing, no, expecting to be whisked off into some kind of adventure, so why was it so startling for one girl when she'd found her dreams had finally come true?Lost in the moment, she finds her brother and herself in a beautiful, warring world with wondrous, frightening creatures, and of course, the fate of the world on her shoulders. Perhaps before making her wish, she should have realized that the weight of this adventure is much heavier than another night-time storybook.
