Amanda Henry Author Reading & Book Signing Event

Hannibal-LaGrange University professor and alum Amanda Henry has released her second book in the Tokens of Rynar series, The Light of the White Gem.

Readers can return to the adventure from the first book with The Light of the White Gem. The story races onward as Inesca seeks out the knight mentioned by her father on his deathbed. More mystery and surprises await Inesca and her friends. The chaos that marked the racing season spreads to other parts of Rynar as repeated attacks from mysterious assailants threaten the lords and their subjects. Discover how Inesca and other characters will face these challenges in The Light of the White Gem.
The Light of the White Gem may be purchased online at Amazon or through the publisher, WestBow Press. Learn more at the author’s website, sharingtokens.com. The website will also provide details about unique offers, such as limited-edition pens. In addition, the author has posted fictional excerpts of short letters on her website to help readers remember events from the first book. These letters provide new insights into the characters in this series.
Amanda Henry is an associate professor of English at Hannibal-LaGrange University. In her spare time, she loves to read, write, and spend time with family. She wishes to honor God with the interests and skills given to her.
