"Enchantments are powerful-the most powerful magic we have," Rubidius said. "They can change the nature and composition of animate and inanimate things alike, and they can foil the plans of the most determined foes." "What do enchantments have to do with me?" Darcy whispered. "Everything." Darcy Pennington's course was plotted out for her long before she ever stepped foot in Alitheia, and when she returns for her fourth visit to the magical realm, she finds even more outside her control than ever before. Darcy is finally willing to go along with her prophesied path, but a painful rejection almost pushes her over the edge. When she and her friends finally confront one of Tselloch's gateways, nothing turns out as expected, and Darcy wonders, in the end, if there is any hope at all for her, or for Alitheia.

Raised by a fisherman from the depths of the sea, an ornate chest soon attracts the attention of the greedy King, always searching for more treasure. But the King has a problem: nothing and nobody can open the chest. A thousand keys, a thousand tools, and a thousand swords were tried. He calls his most talented subjects to open it: the Locksmith, then the Strong Man, the Magician, and even the Alchemist—they all try their skills, and none can do it! Only the Lynx, whose magical eyes allow her to see through anything, can finally satisfy the King's curiosity. The story, like the chest, contains a beautiful and mysterious core for the intrepid reader to open, about how the treasures we crave may not be what we truly desire.

Saturday was market day for Sala and her mother, and Sala woke early that morning. She enjoyed all the smells of the fresh fruit; the golden pineapples, the piles of pawpaw, bright yellow bananas; and the huge bags of Indian spices. Their shopping bags were getting very heavy. Mother bought the same Fijian vegetables every week: taro, sweet potatoes, rourou, spinach, eggplant, tomatoes, and onions too. Sala went into her favourite shop and wandered, amongst the toys for a while, but soon she felt sleepy, and stumbled over a large box behind a big cupboard. She couldn’t believe her eyes! It was full of enormous toy tigers! She gazed at them, rubbed her eyes, and stared again. The biggest tiger seemed to be winking at her; his beautiful blue-green eyes moving back and forth. “Gwarrrr…..” he roared. “I’m called Raja, King of the tigers!”The Enchanted Pearl by Mary Cottam is a tale based on the life and times of poor Fijian villagers. Sala, a small Fijian girl goes on a shopping trip with her mother and friends. The amazing adventure starts when Sala falls into a large box full of toy tigers in a department store and is transported into the adventure of a lifetime with her friend Raja, King of the Tigers and many other friends. Mary Cottam trained in the United Kingdom for Art and Design. Mary lived for a time in Fiji—the locale and inspiration for The Enchanted Pearl. Her work has been displayed in many exhibitions, including the Opera House Exhibition and at Darling Harbour. Now Mary enjoys writing and illustrating books for children.
