See all formats and editions
Leaving behind all they know, Elisabeth and her brother, Edvard, flee beyond the mountains.



Elisabeth must break the mind-link her stepmother, Olivia, has forged or else the kingdom of Vendale will fall into ruin while the love of her life becomes a puppet to the witches’ coven. In an attempt to force Elisabeth and Edvard to return, Olivia sends her magic after them, pursuing them with all the force of her power and transforming Edvard into a creature of the forest. Elisabeth succumbs to despair and Edvard sets out to find help. He meets an unexpected deliverer, with whose help the siblings embark on a journey of discovery, learning about the forest and a world they hardly knew existed.



Can Elisabeth break the mind-link? Can Edvard overcome his prejudices? For the sake of Vendale and the home they fled, brother and sister must face their demons, rise to the occasion, and discover how to defeat the witches.



This is the second book in The Siblings' Tale duology. If you would like to know why Elisabeth and Edvard had to flee, you can find out in Aspiring, Part 1 of the Siblings' Tale.

This ebook also includes a treasure hunt. Access to "Aliyah goes home" is embedded somewhere in the ebook. This short story is exclusively accessible to buyers of this ebook and will not be formally published, nor made available anywhere else. Good luck hunting.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Award-winning and USA Today Bestselling Author, Astrid V.J. was born in South Africa. She is a trained social anthropologist and certified transformational life coach. She currently resides in Sweden with her husband and their two children. In early childhood, she showed an interest in reading and languages—interests which her family encouraged. Astrid started writing her first novel at age 12 and now writes fantasy in a variety of genres, exploring her passion for cultures and languages. When she isn’t writing, Astrid likes to read, take walks in nature, play silly games with her children, do embroidery, and play music.

Astrid writes transformation fiction: incorporating transformation principles in novels, rather than writing another self-help book. She loves exploring the human capacity for transformation and potential to achieve success in the face of adversity. Astrid is interested in minority group questions, considerations on social standards of beauty and the negative consequences these have, and would like to make the fantasy genre accessible to people of non-white, non-Christian backgrounds. Astrid feels the fantasy genre has become too restrictive with limited representations of race, ethnicity and culture. She seeks to explore other paths on this writing journey, incorporating her background in anthropology and psychology to create engaging experiences, which also provide food for thought on the diverse topics she finds most important. These include: racism, minority rights, cultural diversity, culture change, intolerance, humanity’s environmental impact, the representation of people on the autism spectrum in among the general populace, the human capacity for transformation, and much more.

The second part of this tale did not disappoint and even threw in some unexpected twists. I loved how the results for the story of Gisela’s Passion was intertwined into this one. The one thing that I really enjoyed was the ease of slipping into the story world. I look forward to reading more stories by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars A master class in world building
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019

Astrid V.J.'s masterful sequel to Aspiring not only seamlessly continues The Siblings' Tale, but also significantly builds onto the world that she has created. There are so many new characters, and places, and cultures, that one gets the feeling that the world of Vendale truly must exist. Astrid's prose is meaty and easily digestible, giving one the impression that one is reading a work as significant as a Brontë novel without having to untangle any heavy writing. It is an easy read, but not without heart. It's plain to see that Astrid deeply loves her world and her characters, and she also values and respects the reader.
Despite being The Siblings' Tale, the focus of Becoming is predominantly on Elizabeth, with Edvard being somewhat forgotten about for most of the second half. That said, there is no detail of the story that goes unresolved, and the reader is left feeling content and fulfilled by the end of the novel.

This is my second fantasy read. I ordered both paperback and ebook to see which ones I like best. I liked the paperback read. It felt more real to me. I loved following Elisabeth’s journey. So glad the Queen did what she did for Elizabeth. I won’t say more as to not spoil the book. Great read!

This second half of the retelling delves into a lot more action and magic. I really enjoyed reading about Elisabeth and Edvard’s time spent with the Elvin Ayori. I also loved the side story with Edvard and Aliyah and was rooting for them the whole time. This second half of a duet retelling was full of intrigue and suspense and had me turning pages right up to the end. Well done!

So, I messed up and bought the second book without reading the first...now, liking this one I will have to back track and read the first one so I can fill in the holes that would not be there had I read the first book! Not a big fan of magic but the cover is mesmerizing and it is a well-written, interesting story. Do yourself a favor and buy the first one, THEN come and get this one!

This book was an enjoyable, interesting sequel to Aspiring, and it was good to be back with Elisabeth and Edvard - and some intriguing new characters. I found it well-written (that's so important to me), with great flow that made it easy to read. It’s full of magic and gives an excellent opportunity to escape from day-to-day life. Hoping there will be more by this author.

‘Becoming’ is part 2 of ‘The Siblings’ Tale’ by Astrid V. J. and completes the story of a girl with magic powers and her struggle against witches who are trying to prevent her becoming queen. Will they succeed or does a modern re-telling rule out a happy-ever-after ending? You’ll have to read the book to find out.

Becoming is the sequel of Aspiring, forming together the sibling's tale, a fantasy story that will draw you in a magic world full of adventure and romance. The story is well built and new characters are introduced, opening up more complex relationships. It is an escape in a fantasy world where one can find reflections of real world issues. Highly recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars magic stag witch good bad
Reviewed in India on September 2, 2019

I loved the cover of the book. Elisabeth is sent away with the Queens blessings. Edvard goes with her. They cross the mountains, but Edvard drinks some enchanted water and becomes a stag. He can only be restored with the death of the person who cursed him. They are lost and with nobody to help, they almost give up. Till edvard meets an elf and she takes them to her kingdom. Elisabeth learns more than she thought possible about magic. Magic that doesnt harm the earth and its beings. she learns there is a balance that must be kept. The elves relationship with the trees reminded me of Avatar. In the end, Richard finds her and marries her, making her the next queen. The witches strike again, this time they target Elisabeth. You will have to read on to find out what happens. I thought it should have been a little more difficult for them to find solutions. Other than that, a great book and some good editing.

Becoming is a wonderful creation by the author @astrid.v.j_author_official. You have to read the 2 books together (Aspiring and Becoming).  They are a true enjoyment to read particularly if you like fantasy.
The characters were well thought of, lovable and relatable.
The storyline is packed full of twists, turns and tension that will keep you hooked as it delves into magic and explores the brother- sister relationship between Edvard and Elisabeth.
Love and romance overflows; so, this is a read for romance lovers as well
