City of Gold

By Alice Santià

Equilibrium in the Gulf hangs by a thread. Princess Arabella travels to the rich kingdom of Elysia on a diplomatic mission to avoid a terrible war. However, just as she arrives, a series of mysterious life attempts begin to take place. Arabella has to figure out who the culprit is before she or one of her friends is murdered. Doing so will drag her into an unexpected conspiracy and she will soon find out that her enemies have never been so strong. Never so close. In the Gulf, the main routes of commerce have always belonged to Elysia. The Elysian Archipelago has enriched everyday with the goods coming from the Orient, its people have grown vain reveling in the luxury and the power of Elysia that kept increasing. Until one day that power is threatened. Jarem, a neighboring kingdom, will no longer accept their supremacy and is willing to wage war on them. Elysia needs an ally: Vallemonte, a newly united country that has always been in the shadow, could be exactly what the Elysian king is looking for. But Vallemonte won't just come without a cost. Arabella, the Vallemontenian princess, has her own terms and she won't withdraw on any of them. This could be the chance for Vallemonte to finally step out of the shadow and snatch a handful of the Elysian riches for itself. However, while discussing diplomacy in Elysia, Arabella finds herself enveloped in a series of murders and life attempts that will wind her up into an unexpected conspiracy. With the enemy rousing at the borders, Elysia threatening to crumble from within, the least that Arabella needs is her own destiny unraveling after some ancient prophecy. In a world ready to clash, where magic is born again and daggers await at each turn of the corridor, neither her heart nor her soul are spared.
