On mornings like this, she awoke feeling as though something had gnawed on her joints while she slept. Sometimes she dreamt of the gnashing teeth coming at her in the dark. She would awake to find she’d thrown her blankets off and lay shivering, alone in the black night. “Princess,” the sweet voice spoke beside her. Kessara looked up through the dim light of her private chambers to see the bright young maid holding a tray of warm bread and lumpy yoghurt in a wooden bowl. Kessara scowled at the rosy cheeks and tiny red nose. Her bright, almond-shaped eyes seemed to beam in the cold. “On the table,” she ordered, and before the girl had even set the tray down, she snapped, “Help me sit.” The girl’s smile didn’t waver. This was her second year serving the princess, and she knew what to expect from her mistress. She placed the wooden tray down on the small table along the wall, and then opened the wood shutters in the cold castle walls to let in more light before returning to her bed to help Kessara sit. She let out a deep groan as the girl let Kessara use her arm for leverage, pulling herself up to a sitting position. When did my body get so stiff? she wondered every morning.

World build with the best of them
"With its deep and rich lore Pekari pulls you in and doesn't let go, keeping you up way past your bedtime! Lee can world build with the best of them. There's a lot here, and even more to be discovered still!" -Ricky Lima, author of Happily Ever Aftr

Even Better
"Even better than the series's breakout first installment, Pekari: The Azure Fish not only builds on what Orope laid out, but widens the world Lee has offered us. Book two definitely gives us more of the journey we've been waiting for."
- Liam Gibbs, author of In a Galaxy Far, Far AwRy

Meticulous and richly-detailed
"From the stars in the sky to the words on people's tongues, it is delightfully clear how much love and energy went into creating the world of Pekari. Meticulous and richly-detailed--not an adventure you want to miss."
- Sienna Tristen, author of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming
