About this ebook

WHERE THERE IS PAIN, THERE IS LOVE. WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE IS HOPE.

"Insightfully penned, with a plot that sizzles." Literary Classics Book Awards

"Cecilia is an epic adventure about a young heroine on a journey to save loved ones. Along the way she finds her true self and a destiny with greater meaning then she could ever imagine." Amazon Reviewer

Set in a post-apocalyptic future, Vitus, the last surviving city, maintains dominance by exterminating surrounding villages and enslaving the young men. Because of Vitus's oppression, the Goddess of Light is dying. The last bastion of goodness keeping her alive is the village of Plockton, nestled deep within the Plockton Forest. When this village falls victim to a raid, the Goddess pours her remaining light into the lone survivor, eighteen-year-old Cecilia.

Unaware of the precious light that she is carrying inside, Cecilia makes the bold decision to rescue her brothers. What starts out as a desire to save loved ones, becomes an epic quest, thrusting Cecilia front and center in the ultimate battle between good and evil.

The Cecilia Series is an epic love story between a headstrong young woman who refuses to accept the status quo of her fractured world and an emotionally bankrupt assassin struggling to find his humanity.

Sandra L Rostirolla

Insightfully penned, with a plot that sizzles, Sandra L. Rostirolla’s CECILIA has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval. Born in Sydney, Australia, Sandra came to America on a professional work Visa, only to find herself studying theater and dance in Chicago. After moving to Los Angeles, she put aside her Bachelor of Applied Science and MBA to study film & entertainment at UCLA. Her talents as a lyricist led her to her now husband, composer Kurt Oldman, who co-wrote and produced her CD, THYME. Realizing that writing, rather than singing, was her passion, Sandra began writing screenplays, making the top 200 of Page International Screenwriting Competition, quarterfinals of the ASA Screenwriting Competition, and top fifteen percent of the Nicholl Fellowship. She wrote and directed the short animation, The Adventures of Gilbert the Goofball, which was runner-up for Best Animation at the Action on Film Festival, and her short story, Lucky Quarter, was a finalist for the Rick DeMarinis Short Story Award. Selected to participate in the Australians in Film Writers Room, Sandra work-shopped the screenplay version of her novel, Cecilia. She remains active with the core Alumni group, which meets monthly to review and critique each other’s work. Sandra presently works for a film production company, which recently released the Josh Hartnett starring film “6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain.” When she’s not imagining fantastical stories grounded by rules and reasoning, she’s usually renovating something around the house, sneaking away with her husband for a last minute ski-trip, or dealing with the unruly strays that seem to enjoy terrorizing her three cats.
