Abstract:
A Land Beyond Our Own is a young adult book focused in the genre of high fantasy.
Based in the fantasy world of Mundae Luminis, Fina Vandyne must find a way to protect her
kingdom from an oncoming attack while also displaying how she has the qualities to lead her
kingdom. She must keep the secret that she is a Guardian, which is a magical human being that
can control a specified element, such as fire, earth, lightning, water, wind or ice. The Guardians
were meant to protect the human race but went extinct as they battled amongst their own kind
which also resulted in the banishment of magic in the world of Mundae Luminis. Fina must find
a way to serve her kingdom while also hiding that she is a Guardian. Now, as the Thunder
Guardian returns to claim the throne of Greenwood, Fina must prove herself worthy of the throne
by counteracting gender stereotypes throughout her journey, ultimately leading to the battle for
her homeland.
