- Description
A princess with a bow and arrow. A boy returning from beyond the stars. A mother lost in memory. And a kingdom where the trees hold the stories of those who came before.
When young Rose Marie discovers a powerful crystal, it reveals what each person longs for most. But when her mother looks inside, she sees only what was—missing the beauty of what still is.
As the Queen drifts into the past, Rose Marie must answer a powerful question: how do we remind someone we love that the present is still worth showing up for?
Rose Marie and the Crystal of Desires is a beautifully written and illustrated fantasy that celebrates life, love, and the quiet strength of choosing presence over nostalgia.
A breathtaking tale of family, wonder, and the magic that lives in the here and now.
This heart-led adventure carries readers through Rose Marie’s deepest questions and brightest dreams—and gently leads them to a place of connection, courage, and joy.
Perfect for shared reading, this story opens the door to meaningful family conversations about love, attention, and the art of being here now.
Rose Marie and the Crystal of Desires is book 2 in The Leunam Tales.
