* The Dark Quest of Countess X: A Call to the World’s Youth by L P Hansen
SUMMARY: Calling herself Countess X, one of Europe’s richest billionaires invites the world’s youth to take up a modern day Quest. Will they help her to challenge a colossal abuse of human rights? Teenagers submitting the most effective suggestions will be welcomed at her European residence to present their plans. But these submissions must be their own work.
More than forty young people converge on the château to share their plans and meet with wealthy philanthropists and others prepared to put the plans into practice.
Tensions accelerate as cheats are expelled, hostilities revealed and romances bloom. Then the pace of the Quest quickens – changing the participants forever.
Resources for further reading are provided at the end of the book.
