Byizoldast

For the next ten days (Aug 10 – 19), I will be participating in an author discovery through DiscoverAuthors.wordpress.com.  Each day, this blog will feature a different author and one of their books; the other authors will also feature me and one another on their blogs. I haven’t read the books, but they look really great to me. Enjoy.

Day one: 

Day 1: Prince of Alasia by Annie Douglass Lima


       Prince Jaymin, heir to the throne of Alasia, barely escapes with his life when invaders from neighboring Malorn attack.  Accompanied by his young bodyguard, Jaymin flees to a nearby town to live in hiding.  There, surrounded by the enemy soldiers searching for him, his life depends on his ability to maintain his disguise.


       As the danger intensifies and the Malornians’ suspicions grow, Jaymin seeks desperately for a way to save his kingdom and himself.  Then he stumbles upon a startling discovery that will challenge his assumptions and forever change his view of Malorn and the events that altered his life.
