Dobrenica novels

California girl Kim Murray is unsatisfied with grad school and restless in life, studying ballet and fencing because they remind her of older, more romantic times. Her secretive, aristocratic grandmother, who speaks only French and refuses to share stories about their mysterious family, inspires Kim to seek her roots in Europe, where she is swept up in an adventure of fantastic deceptions and passionate intrigue.

Pulled two centuries back in time to Europe during the rise of Napoleon, Kim Murray--now a spirit--must guard twelve-year-old Aurelie de Mascarenhas and get the child to the small, magical country of Dobrenica--or more than just one family will vanish.
