The Legend of the Medallions, the debut novel from Lisbeth Petersson, blends magic with a medieval yet futuristic world. 

In 3786, a massive explosion occurs and an unwanted girl named Nayem is born. 

Members of the medieval kingdom of Amana witness the explosion as a fireball falls from the sky raining down pieces of the meteorite—six pieces—that harness unimaginable power. 

A dwarf finds the fragments, forging them into magical medallions and believing he has the power to rule Amana -- but the kings have other plans.  Murdering the dwarf and stealing the medallions ensure that the reign of power is not upset.  Meanwhile, on that same fateful day, Nayem is given away to a black elf named Thadem.  Thadem is soon murdered, and Nayem is once again uprooted, taken away by the malevolent black elf Meleador.   

With his wicked power, he transforms the lovely lass into a nousferatu (vampire) and raises Nayem as his own.  Even the wicked can love and Meleador loves Nayem as if she was his own flesh and blood.   

Going to battle as a soldier at the age of 16, Nayem faces unspeakable evil.  What significance do the medallions hold for her?  Will Nayem fulfill her destiny as a soldier or will she die trying?           

Lisbeth Petersson writes a thrilling tale that is pure magic. This remarkable debut serves up what fantasy fans expect—a deftly woven plotline, memorable characters and vivid narration, taking the reader to another world where the extraordinary is the norm.
