Ruby Heart is a human-heart-shaped ruby about the size of a child's fist, and is possessed by a sentient being or spirit, if you will, named - of course - Ruby Heart.
Although she was created millions of years ago as the planet called Earth was forming, Ruby has chosen an Archaeologist named Dillwyn Llewellyn, her current Custodian in the 21st Century to record her adventures with previous Custodians through the generations.
The Legends of Ruby Heart begin with a trilogy that includes the adventures Ruby and her third Custodian, as well as introducing us to another sentient being - a man from another realm.
In BOOK ONE - THE BIRTH OF THE KING, Ruby introduces us to Basilikos (aka Basil), the son of one of the Wise Men who plan on taking a perilous journey across mountains and deserts to worship the "baby who will change the world forever". Basil is ordered to stay behind to watch over his Grandfather and help rule the clan. However, he discovers a conspiracy to kill his Grandfather just as Ruby warns him that his father and the baby he seeks are in mortal danger!
WHAT WILL BASIL DO?
Will he stay and protect his Grandfather and the Clan?
OR
Will he try to rescue his Father and the "baby king who will change the world forever?"
