The Book of Destiny

Over a year has passed since Adelaide saved the Kingdom of Lotia from war and married King Ambrose. But she cannot escape a shadow of danger that still haunts the kingdom. When the Book of Destiny, the nation's most priceless treasure, is stolen, Adelaide uncovers a sinister plot by her old nemesis, Empress Catrina of Kaidak. With her handsome husband, loyal talking animals, and a feisty princess-turned-scholar, Adelaide embarks on a race to stop Empress Catrina from unleashing the Book of Destiny's hidden powers. But she encounters trouble closer to her heart as she learns more about the man she married and the world in which she is now a queen. As she faces sorcery, pirates, centaurs, haunting visions, and a legendary city lost for thousands of years, Adelaide is forced to draw upon her courage...and ask herself what, or whom, she would do anything to protect.
