The Blue Desert

The Blue Desert is the second book in The Lake Stone Trilogy.

"Everyone deserves a home where they have someone that they love with them."

Valhanan is the eldest daughter of Eada and the king of Vasda. Since before her birth, she was promised in marriage to the general of her father's army. Only when she turns fifteen does she learn of it. No matter how much she and her mother beg King Spyre to break the engagement, he will not.

In an effort to hide from the arrangement, Valhanan retreats into the comforting stories from her childhood. She always dreamed of travelling to visit Tria, the land of her mother's stories, but she knew it was impractical. That is, until her mother gives her a chance to escape the engagement.

Anan must travel out of Vasda; must leave her home forever to find a safe haven in the palace of Tria with Eada's brother the emperor. But ever since the king of Vasda betrayed the emperor, there has been no contact between the two countries. Could they ever believe that Anan is the daughter of their beloved empress? And even if they could, would they ever accept her?
