LAQAIXIT TEWEE enjoyed writing this eight-book, multiple-story adventure drawing upon her life experiences both as a child growing up in a rural environment and as an world traveler. In this final Magical Swan episode, the author causes the conclusion of the Silverrealm epic to have a surprise twist that unites all of the Winterbloom and Magical Swan - Series I - books, and The Magical Swan and the Chronicles of Silverrealm Series II - stories together at last. Twenty-five years after having begun the story by hand and having gone through 4 computer crashes she is grateful to see it finally published. Had she known at the start that she would be painting a total of 465 illustrations for the entire series under her artist name Dancing Light she might not have had the courage to publish such a large endeavor.

PREFACE

Chronicles%20bk5-12.tif

ENCHANTED PEACOCKS – BOOK 6, is a continuation of the Magical Swan’s story to Winterbloom about King Peacock and his Financial Advisors when they were enchanted as peacocks in BOOK 4 – THE CASE OF THE MISSING MONARCHS of THE MAGICAL SWAN and the CHRONICLES of SILVERREALM, series. In this story King Peacock and his Advisors are sent into the Kingdom of Windon by the evil fairy Terrornorest as enchanted peacocks to become a feast for the evil Lord Ichabod. The King passes this final test when he learns to overcome pride.

Being ‘Proud as a Peacock’ takes on a new meaning in this book and reveals how very dangerous that attitude can be. Sometimes it hurts to shed ourselves of pride, but in the end it is worth it. Beauty, strength and youth are gifts given by the Creator for a time. It is best to be humble with such gifts because they will not last forever. The Bible says: ‘Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain; but a woman (or man) that fears the LORD, she/he shall be praised.’ (Proverbs 31:30) This book is written to help those who wish for a better reality in their lives to discover how to overcome troubling habits and attitudes and thereby find healthier relationships with others.

WINTERBLOOM HAD BEEN TROUBLED when she went to sleep, wondering how the King of Silverrealm would ever regain his kingdom. As she slept her dreams were filled with peacock feathers floating everywhere. She awoke to the sound of rain pounding on the roof and some droplets leaking down upon her face. She knew that peacock feathers were the least of her problems for the moment. The young teen quickly got dressed and collected the large open gourds that she had seen Grandmother Shiverchills long ago put out into the small cottage during a rainstorm to
