Sneaking out of the palace wasn’t one of Aniri’s best ideas. But she’s the Third Daughter of the Queen of Dharia—zero responsibilities and zero royal duties. She’s just the backup daughter, in case her older sisters’ arranged marriages—to take the crown or broker an alliance—don’t quite work out. But once Aniri reaches her 18th birthday, she’ll be truly free… and then she can marry the charming fencing instructor she meets for fevered kisses in the forest. But then the impossible happens—a marriage proposal. From a barbarian prince in the north, no less. And if Aniri refuses, the threat of their new flying weapon might bring war. So she agrees to the young prince’s proposal, but only as a subterfuge to spy on him, find the weapon, and hopefully avoid both war and an arranged marriage to a man she doesn’t love. But once she arrives in the sweeping mountains of the north, she discovers the prince has his own secrets… and saving her country may end up breaking her heart. This Bollywood-style royal romance takes you to an alternate East Indian world filled with skyships, saber duels, and lots of royal intrigue.

THIS IS THE THIRD BOOK IN THE Royals of Dharia Trilogy The war has begun, and with the Queen of Dharia on her deathbed, Aniri's excessively-proper eldest sister, First Daughter Nahali, finally sees her chance to claim the crown. Aniri and Nahali have never seen eye-to-eye, not since they were girls running through the palace courtyard, but with Prince Malik and Second Daughter Seledri kidnapped, Aniri can't afford to fight with her sister. So she follows the First Daughter's orders and prepares for a war she fears will destroy everything she loves. Her sister has spent her entire life preparing for this job--Aniri prays to the gods Nahali knows what she's doing. But when the Queen calls the two Daughters to her bedside, she sends Nahali off to prepare for war ... and tasks Aniri with a secret mission. She must go after the power-mad prince of Samir and stop his deadly skyship. It may cost Aniri everything, including a chance to ever return home, but she defies the First Daughter's orders and embarks on a desperate mission to save the people she loves from a war that will tear all three Queendoms apart. FIRST DAUGHTER is the final book in the Royals of Dharia Trilogy. It is told from Aniri's point of view.
