Kevin J. O'Brien Pens QUEST OF THE MAY'S ROSE

SAN PEDRO, Calif. - The surge of thoughts of adventures that came to author Kevin J. O'Brien's mind inspired him to pen his captivating novel, "Quest of the May's Rose" (published by Xlibris). It follows a young woman who lost her father. As he was dying, she learns about the intricate and diverse world of man. Her father sends her to her uncle and she begins a voyage of discovery, experiencing the new trade route to the East by the sea. As she embarks on her journey, she encounters happiness, sorrow and learns to become an adult.

Readers are brought to the planet Talamh in the year 1310 of the second Common Era. A young half-elf female, who has just lost her father, starts the most long and dangerous journey of her life. She and a newly formed adventuring company make an attempt to sail west to open a new sea trade route to ports of the kingdoms of the East from the port city of Fair Haven in the kingdom of West Thorne. This riveting novel depicts the interaction of people hailing from different lands and molded by different cultures.

"You find how one young person made decisions and lived with them," author O'Brien explains.

Magical, creative and resonant, "Quest of the May's Rose" teaches readers essential life lessons through the story of a young woman who learns to live and grow as she takes on the path to adulthood.
