Chronicles of Anaedor

Kristina Schram, one-time resident of Pine River and Jenkins, and 1988
graduate of Pequot Lakes High School, announces the release of her first
book, "The Chronicles of Anedor: The Prophecies".
A former valedictorian and Pequot Lakes basketball player, Kristina has
been busy since she left the Lakes region, attending college at the
University of Minnesota-Morris, where she majored in psychology and
minored in Spanish. She went on to graduate school in Ohio where she
obtained her doctorate in counseling psychology.
While Kristina does not practice psychology in an office, she still
uses her education every day-for raising her three young boys and for
her writing.
Kristina wanted to be a writer all her life and won the Minnesota High
School Writer Scotty's Award when she was a senior in high school, thanks to her English teacher, Rene Thaler, who submitted
Kristina's work.
"The Chronicles of Anaedor: The Prophecies," for ages 10 and up, is a
work of fantasy fiction filled with fun and adventure. The following is
a brief synopsis of Kristina's new novel.
The Girl Above
Strange things happen to 15-year-old Lavida Mors. Maybe that's why her
father sends her away to Portal Manor, a mysterious family estate she
has never seen. Lavida quickly discovers that not everything at Portal
Manor is as it seems when she stumbles across a secret passage to a
hidden world - Anaedor.
The World Below
Anaedor lies deep beneath the surface, separated from humanity,
populated by mythical creatures. Long ago, ignorant humans, frightened
by the powers of these magical and strange beings, forced them to flee
to this dark world of huge caverns, frigid rivers and deep pits. It is
these same creatures that take Lavida captive, forcing her to realize
there might have been very good reasons for humans to be afraid.
The Prophecy Binds Them
Malevolent forces, led by the evil Malvado, seek to control all of
Anaedor, but an ancient prophecy tells of a hero who will save these
denizens of the deep. While trying to escape the dark realm with the
help of her friends, Lavida tries, all the while trying to convince the
hopeful populace of Anaedor that she is not the savior they believe her
to be.
Kristina currently resides in New Hampshire.
