============================
The Five Kings is an illustrated storybook explaining the five hindrances of meditation, which prevent control over the mind. Mélusine Martin employs her many years of meditation and story telling experience to bring us an insightful, memorable tale of a peaceful prince who uses the power of a calm, collected mind to convince five greedy, wrathful, self-indulgent kings to change their ways, and in turn find their own internal peace.
Through the power of these eye-catching, water-colored illustrations and memorable story, the reader will slowly learn the art of calming the mind and finding real peace within!
