Matthew Blackburn’s new book “Daughter of Kastallon” is a thrilling story about ancient curses, mythical creatures and a young heroine’s search for her destiny

Lillington, NC, July 18, 2024 – (PR.com) – Fulton Books author Matthew Blackburn, a middle school English teacher from Lillington, North Carolina who lives there with his wife and dog, has completed his latest book, Daughter of Kastallon: a gripping fantasy adventure about orphaned Willow Dennings, who discovers her destiny to restore balance amidst a cursed land and an ancient prophecy.

“Castallon, or the land where the castles lie, is a kingdom in its infancy,” writes Blackburn. “When it was first formed, it was a world of wonder and great sights. But in the dying days of its first era, it was conquered by the Gilded Caliphate, a faction of warmongering soldiers bent on total domination and the expansion of their deity’s influence. Since then, the land has been cursed, and the only way to restore its former glory is to turn one throne into two.

“Two must rule, not one.

“Willow Dennings is an orphan from New York in the early 20th century. She knows nothing other than the orphanage, its teachers and its loving headmaster, Mr. Linmer. One day, Willow is visited by a strange bird right outside her bedroom window. When the bird finds its way into the house, Willow experiences the revelation of her life!

“So begins her journey to Kastallon and the adventure to restore the two thrones from one. Along the way she encounters friendly and terrifying creatures, a mystical being and a test of sheer willpower. Will she become everything her destiny has determined? Or will the Caliphate be too much for the young chosen one?”

Published by Fulton Books, Matthew Blackburn’s book takes readers on a journey through Willow’s adventures, exploring themes of identity, sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope. For readers seeking an exciting escape into a world of fantasy and adventure, Daughter of Kastallon promises a gripping experience filled with mystery, courage, and the triumph of the human spirit.
