[__]1In mystical 15th century Spain at the height of the Inquisition's power, young Jews Toba and Naftaly must fight for survival by unravelling the mysterious connections they have to a magical world of the immortal Maziks whose fates are tied to their own.__
Two worlds bound by a pomegranate gate
Toba Peres can speak but she can't shout; she can walk but she can't run; and she can write in five languages... with both hands at the same time.
Naftaly Cresques dreams every night of an orange-eyed stranger; when awake, he sees things that aren't real; and he carries a book he can never lose and never read.
When the Queen of Sefarad orders all the nation's Jews to leave or convert, Toba and Naftaly are forced to flee, but an unlucky encounter leaves them both separated from their caravan. Lost in the wilderness, Toba follows an orange-eyed stranger through a mysterious gate in a pomegranate grove, leaving Naftaly behind.
With a single step, Toba enters an ancient world that mirrors her own. There, she finds that her fate-and Naftaly's-are bound to an ancient conflict threatening to destroy both realms.
Rezension:
"The Pomegranate Gate is an unforgettable journey to a world lush with magic and imagination. Every page is unearthly and delightful in equal measure-I couldn't put it down."-Natasha Siegel, author of Solomon's Crown
