King Topaz

By: Amy Richie

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Stella Shaw would rather face a sandstorm barefoot than be stuck with Prince Zander—her arrogant, would-be fiancé who she’s sworn never to like, let alone marry. But when the two are trapped inside a mysterious bubble world made entirely of scorching desert, dislike becomes a luxury neither of them can afford.

Their only hope of escape? A crumbling castle in the distance, ruled by King Has—a ruler so unstable, he makes the heat seem sane. With every step across the sand, Stella’s patience wears thinner... and Zander’s surprising flashes of courage and cleverness make her second-guess everything she thought she knew.

The world may be falling apart around them, but to survive, Stella and Zander will have to fight side by side—and maybe, just maybe, stop hating each other long enough to make it out alive.
