![]() ![]() ![]() But the World of Karov is a totally different story. There’s The Lying Game by Sara Shepard, Entangled by Nikki Jefford, and The Man in the Iron Mask (by Alexander Dumas) to name a few. I have been reading a lot of stories revolving around twins, the good and the bad, mostly about sisters. Eventually, reality comes back to haunt Adam, resulting in a final showdown with his brother…. Adam takes the chance and goes with the stranger, but his past is never far from his mind. Just when Adam is at his most grief-stricken point, a stranger appears and offers him a chance for a new life in a land filled with magic, gems, and powers unimaginable a world mysteriously led by a special tribe of children who have hidden themselves away from a great evil that is seeking to destroy them. Adam searches for them for months, but he never finds them. Always jealous of his twin, Alec does everything he can to destroy his brother’s happiness, including kidnapping Adam’s fiancée on their wedding day and disappearing with her deep into the Canadian mountains. Adam is gentle and kind, whereas Alec is the essence of nightmares. Adam and Alec look like identical twins, but their personalities are as different as possible. ![]()
