I’d rather spend my time reliving my dreams about the man who’s always just out of reach. What my mother never told me was she was hiding something that would alter my life. Not many people can say they have a key to another realm. Or that within the realm is the father they’ve never met. That person is me. My father is the king in a land I didn’t know existed. I’m so using that key. When I get there, I find the literal man of my dreams. Not only is he handsome but he’s a prince and an elite fighter. A man I’m not sure if I should fear or kiss. I’m told my father isn’t the man I pictured, and instead is vile and vicious. I wonder if I made the worst decision of my life coming here. I still have the key. I could go home. I also have a prince vowing to protect me with his life. Falling for him is easy. Becoming a pawn in my father’s game is not. The Azure Kingdom is book one in the Iridescent Realm series.
