The Se7en Passions of Gabrielle Émilie

Gabrielle ilie is a young princess-bride on the eve of her fairy tale wedding. This should be by all accounts her Happily ever after ending: a royal wedding with her Prince Charming; but she is hunted with uncertainty and doubt. Although her mother tries to assure the young princess, she decides impulsively to flee the safe confines of her castle to follow a mysterious voice that leads her to the dark woods on the frontiers of her kingdom. She is seduced by the rogue highwayman, and the two embark on a worldwide journey that takes them across continents and oceans to the rim of the world. She begins her journey as a young sheltered and cloistered princess armed with only her knowledge and education, both of which are benefits of her privileged status. She acts on impulse and gives very little thought to the consequences that spring from her decisions. But the veil of Gabrielle iles youthful romance with her highwayman starts to fade as she examines the true nature of her relationships, religion, sexuality and identity. She traverses the Silk Road; forges primordial forests and battles both men and fantastic beasts; she scales the Himalayas and explores the Amazon; and along the way she discovers the true meaning of love and faith. Each book chronicles her spiritual and physical journey as she travels to exotic and distant lands, and learns about love, faith and loyalty and the true fragile nature of her own humanity.
