In this second book of the series set in the magical Kingdom of Xinesse, beloved friends never give up on each other, even as their secrets build and change everyone around them. Young love and strong friendships are a powerful force in the fight against evil when unexpected challenges arise to threaten the kingdom. Peace continues to be on the line in The Secret of the Tower - Book Two of the Kingdom X Series. Will Xinesse's knights be up to the fight ahead? Anything seems possible with true friends by your side. Says the author, "I wanted to explore the backgrounds of certain characters and get a glimpse of their futures. Developing a second book in the Kingdom X series allowed me to go further with their stories. I felt readers will be gratified to know how challenges define the characters and I wanted to explore their futures." The book's characters came to author J. A. Whitzel in a dream. The characters and story from her first book "stuck with me and I found myself asking questions about them constantly. I had to explore their individual stories further. I realized my dream by writing the Kingdom X series, and dedicate this second book to my cousin, Thad G. Gayman, a legend in his own time taken too soon from this world. He would have been ecstatic that I have realized my dream." The author resides in a small town in Pennsylvania.
