Includes the #1 Amazon #1 bestseller, 'World' (Book One) and awesome bonus content!Arriette Monroe never expected to be thrust into the heart of supernatural chaos, nor did she deem herself worthy of four incredible gifts. But when she hears the legendary Pandora's box has been reopened, putting the human race at risk of extinction, Arriette and her friends begin a quest to find and protect it from Haeylo's most powerful Everlast, Falkon Lou.Although Arriette thinks she's walking pandemonium, the Recruit think she's their saviour...And they're willing to prove it.“The world of Finding Pandora is interesting on its own, comprising a mirroring history and an assortment of creatures that will make for consuming contemplation sessions.... This is testament to E. Rachael Hardcastle's ability to choose carefully what to show and what to suggest... It is with this skill that E. Rachael Hardcastle delivers a light-pierced sombre story with a compact, multifaceted plot.” Readers' Favorite, Book One“There is a spiritual, moral and instructive quality to this book, asking us to look at ourselves as a civilization, our values and our actions. That is where its strength lies and that is something very commendable.” Readers' Favorite, Book Two“Finding Pandora beats at a pace that keeps the reader’s attention and interest. The story flows remarkably. The imagination, planning and execution of E. Rachael Hardcastle's work is the strongest I have ever seen it... Finding Pandora is rich with societies, environments and cultures that are bustling with life, history and tradition... But perhaps the strongest feature of the book is found in its insightful themes and discussions on evil, morality, purpose and humanity.” Readers' Favorite, Book Three“It is all action, anguish, emotion, twists, blood, and light. It is laced with feelings of triumph and defeat, anguish and happiness, closure and continuance. The lean economical style of E. Rachael Hardcastle accelerates the tense, quick pace... However, this isn’t at the expense of depth... One thing is clear at the end, the Finding Pandora series is about sacrifice, the demands of living a purposeful life, and hope in the face of calamity. It is these poignant themes that make the series the moral force it is. As we close this chapter, we are reminded that this may not be the last time we see Arriette and the Recruit, and that should bring some excitement to fans because this story has more to offer.” Readers' Favorite, Book FourVisit www.erachaelhardcastle.com
