Sixteen-year-old Princess Kateri's desert kingdom of Achra is suffering from a drought, and as a result, the king is having to ration its precious water, which, to make matters worse, is being stolen by the gang of Desert Boys. Kateri longs to help her people, but first, as is tradition, she must fight through the arena and prove her right to rule before she can become queen. However, when she discovers who her final opponent is, Kateri knows that her training won't be enough to give her a victory, so she flees into the desert in search of the one person who can help her. Sullivan (A Touch of Gold, 2018) retells Frank R. Stockton's short story "The Lady, or the Tiger?," expanding it into an exciting adventure that transports readers to a mythical kingdom filled with creatures and customs that will capture the interest of fantasy enthusiasts. Action, adventure, and a bit of romance blend well into a distinctive and exciting read.
