After completing six books in this series, I realized my vision for this series had shifted slightly; the developing series had become focused on the main character, the young princess/sorceress who becomes Guardian of the Blue Dragons. Thus, I chose to revise this book to reflect this focus as well as address reviewers’ comments. I renamed the protagonist Laurena, and re-titled the book as Isle of the Four Kingdoms: Blue Dragon Princess. The remaining books in this series reflect this revision. ****************** Description ********************** Laurena Filly is no pampered princess, despite her royal blood. She's an impish, medieval, teenaged sorceress and the new apprentice to the Blue Dragon Guardian. This legendary grandmaster sorceress is renowned for maintaining the tenuous peace between the formidable dragons and the inhabitants on the Isle of the Four Kingdoms. Laurena journeys across her father's kingdom to embrace her destiny as the Blue Dragon Princess. Her crossing detours when she learns of the sinister deeds ordered by King Armon, monarch of the Southern Kingdom. These events threaten not only her family and other royals, but would forever alter the balance of power on the isle. Adding to her worries is the discovery of her best friend’s alliance with the evil forces. Compelled to protect her family and feeling betrayal by her renegade ‘sister’ sorceress, Laurena embarks on a battle against evil. Assisting the Blue Dragon Princess is a small band of fellow royals which includes Prince Austin Mesa, the warrior who has captured her heart, and her dragon protectors. These quests challenge the abilities of the team as it plunges them into adventures, filled with danger at every turn. Will they be able to outwit the rising evil and restore stability to the isle? less
