Susan Larned Womble's Book Launch

Opal’s Brigade is the story of Opal, one of the Lightning Brigade, who lives in the Neath World far below Earth’s surface. She must break a more than a thousand-year pact to travel to The Topsider World in order to protect her twin sister, Sadie Evelyn.

Sadie was hidden at birth in the Topsider World twelve years ago and has no idea that she doesn’t belong in her world. Is Sadie the key to the power of Neath World or is she the reason for the shift in power? Follow Opal’s journey as she discovers the Topside World. Figuring out good and evil is not always clear.
