BLURB for ‘Dust’ by Sarah Daltry
“I was once the type of person who was impressed by starlight; the type
of person who would dance beneath glass ceilings and let the world swim in its
loveliness. The sky reminds me of the parties we used to throw – parties like
the one last night. The memories bring back the trill of harps and endless
ripples of satisfied laughter. Now, though, when I try to recall what I felt,
all I hear is screaming.”
In a world ravaged by war and oppressive forces of evil, a
princess must fight to claim her bloodright and save her people.
When the princess, Alondra falls for the beautiful, blue
eyes of a hooded stranger, it awakens in her a taste for freedom and an escape
from her duty.
But her parents have other plans; they have a Kingdom to
protect and Alondra must marry to ensure the peace between nations. Only what
happens when your parents choose a cold-hearted assassin as your betrothed?
As lies, illusions and long hidden vendettas surface, the
princess has to confront a very secret history. One that makes her realize that
she not only risks losing her liberty, but of everything she has known and
loved.
