Kellan McKensie, Princess of Errigal, is set on leaving for another world before being thrust into a plan of God's choosing that includes learning of her past, embracing her future, and finding her forever love.

Among a lost line of beautiful, wise queens and a conquered country still clinging to medieval traditions in today's world, can Kellan be convinced that now is her time to act? Why should she? To the entire country, she doesn't even exist. Ever the reluctant leader, Kellan is pressured to use her incredible God-given abilities to bring back the glory of her homeland. To do so, she must fight her own will, overcome fears, and control her temper. It's a lot to ask of a girl hidden under a cloak her whole life.

The next morning Osma tried again, bringing a tray filled with an incredible array of pastries and 

fruits, being sure to include some of Kellan’s favorite food that she rarely received growing up, 

chocolate covered anything. Nothing came from it though. Kellan had dug in her heels and 

wasn’t about to be won over by delicacies. Worried, Osma went to the teacher, who expected 

nothing less from his stubborn streaked pupil. (The Cloak, Chapter 3)

I'm not sure even Kellan could have resisted these! You can stir some up for St. Patrick's Day 

with this easy recipe from Hershey.

 1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) plus 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided

 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa

 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

 2-2/3 cups powdered sugar

 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon water

 1 cup HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet


 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

 2. Place 1 cup (2 sticks) butter in large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 2 

 minutes or until melted. Stir in granulated sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; beat well. Add cocoa, 

 flour, and baking powder; beat until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.

 3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool 

 4. Prepare Mint Cream Center by combining powdered sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 

 water, mint extract and food color. Beat until smooth. Divide and spread evenly on brownies.
