In
Nadia's Heart, Part One, amnesiac Nadia knew that something was wrong, so she
went in search of her missing heart. What she encountered has only brought more
questions: about her origins and her ties to the people of the Land of Silence.
She learned that her heart was indeed removed, and that her memory was erased
by an evil Voice. But why? Now Nadia and her glowing-eyed companion,
Georgeonus, must help recover the stolen hearts of the children of the Land of
Silence. In Part Two, they will do battle against the evil Voice and travel to
frightening places. They receive help from a powerful Witch and Wizard, and
Nadia gets her heart back—but it's not at all what she expected. Can they
rescue the stolen children's hearts in time?

Excerpt:
From Chapter IV: The Silver Witch:
They remembered that her visit had been preceded by a magick
dust.
The dust came from above, the air tingled, and miniscule,
silver particles glistened as they fell. It was musical, and as they breathed,
they smelled fresh air like new spring, and they felt an excitement of imminent
magick. She appeared suddenly, and at first no one knew where she had come from
or how; she was just there on the road. She came as naturally as if she had
approached them from the road. But as the magick dust settled, they
realized—remembered—that the Silver Witch had dropped out of the sky.
As she stood there smiling at them, they remembered that
they had looked up at the sky at a circling dot which descended. As it
approached, it formed the shape of a square, floating quilt. The Witch was soon
revealed to be sitting on top in black garb and hat, her silvery skin thick and
rubbery. With both hands placed on diagonal corners of the quilt, she jumped
off and shook the fabric out like clean laundry and parachuted down to them,
the tennis sneakers on her feet ready for the road. Softly she landed, snapping
the quilt upward and folding it once, twice, three times, and again and again
until it was a small square deposited into one of her pockets.
