Description

<p><em style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in the Republic, reason is the guiding light—two different realms, kept apart and at peace by a treaty and an ocean.</em><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions.</span><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself “the Daughter of the Sea and the Sky.” A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom.</span><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and perhaps their world as well.</span></p>

Story Behind The Book

Writing "Royal Rebel" cheered me during a difficult period of life, caring for my failing father. The fun and adventure of Robin and Simon's romance lightened my spirits and brightened my days. I hope my readers find it equally as enjoyable.

<strong>From Amazon Customers</strong>:<br /><br /><strong>Casey S</strong>.<br /><div style="margin-top:5px;">I really enjoyed this book (2nd I've read from Ms Taylor) and once again she had me laughing so hard I cried! It was a nice face paced book that I didn't want to put down until I finished! I loved the Robin Hood twist and was happy to see the characters I knew from Robin Hood in Princess Robin in a different light.<br /> <br /><strong>From Adrienne Prince</strong>:<br />I have read several of Dana Taylor's books and enjoyed them all. She always has a fresh voice and a way of seeing things that is mythic, yet also immediate and insightful... She deftly weaves a tight and consistent plot line right along with the emotional and even spiritual insights of the characters. <br /><br />The erotic scenes are portrayed with humor, romance and real understanding of intimacy, esp from a woman's point of view. Excellent job, overall! <br /><br />The book was generously long, but I was still sad when it was over. <br /></div>
