Book Synopsis:
In the Kingdom of Kalopsia, Miss Dahlia Johnson has grown tired of the cloying perfumes and swirling silks of ballrooms.
Her reality is to do the bidding of her social-climbing father, biting her tongue and being a lady of the society she's told she belongs to. But in her heart, she has a dream- to visit the beautiful land of Orphia. It's rumored to contain everything she could wish for, beauty, freedom, and even a chance to discover her true self.
For Xanth Odeson, the fisherman's son, his dream is much more literal. Ever since a chance encounter at a ball, he hasn't been able to stop thinking of the nameless beauty most nights. But with his father wanting him to take on more of the family business, he has no time to waste on the mystery lady. Equal parts charm and gauche, his carefree facade hides his fear of disappointing those he loves.
And as the lives of those dearest to him continue changing, he fears he may be left behind altogether.
When their worlds collide, the line between dream and nightmare is blurred. Xanth can't understand why Dahlia warmly welcomes the friendship of others but spurns him at every opportunity. To her, Xanth's carefree attitude seems like every other egotistical man that hurt her. But as they're continually thrown into one another's company, their perception of the other begins to change. When the unexpected shakes Dahlia's world, she and Xanth must confront the most astonishing, terrifying change of all—that of falling in love.
Return to Orphia in this third, stand-alone installment of the Fallen Stars series. Blending historical fiction with a fantasy land absent of magic, this clean and wholesome story of natural beauty, found family, humorous mishaps, and enemies-turned-friends romance is sure delight the hearts of readers young and old.
