I can see this story even being made into a movie, it is that good. I truly hope that she continues the story of Armend and Sofia because I certainly have not had enough of these two. Sofia will stop at nothing to save Armends life, including putting her own life at risk.ĭebbie Christiana, has, in my opinion, written a Masterpiece. Much to his surprise, Sofia has returned the same feeling to Armend as he has for her. As Armend reveals to Sofia and her parents what the threatening letters are really about, they all embark on a mission to save his life.

After touching the threatening letter, Armend discovers who is sending the threats and realizes that Sofia's parents are being threatened because it is believed that one piece of the sonata Armend needs to save his life is hidden in a painting that is currently on display in the art gallery. Armend has his own gifts, to locate a person by touching something that that person has touched. Sofia's parents own an art gallery in New York City and when they start receiving threats to release a certain painting, Sofia and Armend are brought together to help find the person responsible for the threats. A victim of a centuries long curse, on his 30th birthday, he will die, unless the 2 pieces of a sonata are brought back together. He knows that he cannot express his feelings for her because he knows his life will end on the Winter Solstice. He has watched Sofia from a distance, working for her parents and falling in love with Sofia at first sight. She is gifted the dagger and bestowed the gifts from Diana herself.Īrmend is a man on a mission, to save his own life. In this generation, the chosen one is Sofia. Ever generation, one Strega is personally chosen by Diana to possess the dagger. The Diana dagger has been passed down to each generation of Messalina's descendants. Diana gifted Messalina the Diana Dagger, 'a beautifully-crafted blade with a pure gold crescent shaped hilt'. Messalina emerged from the heartbreak a strong and wise woman. Sofia is a Strega witch and direct descendant of Messalina, a dear friend of the Goddess Diana, who was left broken-hearted by Vulcan. I honestly cannot recall any other book I've read that was as authentic in its representation as Solstice.

Solstice is such a genuine and authentic representation of the Stega tradition, it absolutely blew me away.
