About The Bright and the Blue A Cozy Romantic Fantasy Novel
Rinka is done with the city. She's done with the job she's always hated, she's done with the never-ending rent increases, and most of all, she's done with her big dreams. Isn't it time for her to listen to her mother and settle for less? But when she packs up her life to join her friend Alison in the country, she's not the only one new in town. The king is coming, and he's bringing the entire court and a retinue of dwarven industrialists bent on turning Rinka and Alison's new home into the next great center of commerce. The only problem? Their town will be at the bottom of a lake. To save the town from its watery fate, they'll have to find a way to change the hearts and minds of the nobles who would see it in ruins. As Rinka infiltrates their ranks, she finds herself caught up in the glamorous world she's always dreamed of. And things only get more complicated when she falls for one of their members. With Alison's newfound magical abilities and an unlikely band of allies at their side, Rinka and Alison must find a way to preserve the land they love while navigating their most dangerous challenge yet: a summer at court.
