The Blue Sapphire is the second in a series of five books chronicling the magical exploits of Princess Blue, Princess Victoriana, and Lady Charlotte along with many other endearing and some not so enduring characters. A fairy tale in the spirit of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Mary Poppins with her magical powers.

Two young princesses and their lovely governess, banished from the Kingdom of the North for reasons beyond their understanding, attempt to avoid the diabolical wrath of the wickedly beautiful Aleksandrina. Traveling across the land, they encounter brigands, thieves, and the roguish Shurta Watenea. They also meet incredible creatures such as the friendly Ihop and the dreaded gompies.

Mistaken for wily and risqué Damettes, the princesses are at first shunned, until their true identity is discovered. They have little time to rest while negotiating a labyrinth of adventures traveling to their new home at Schloss Lichtenstein. Simultaneously, the princesses learn to survive without the shield of royal status.

Their governess Lady Charlotte confronts many dangerous and deadly challenges as she races ahead of the princesses. Even with the protection of a mythical sisterhood of courageous and multitalented female knights, the wicked Damodell Queen may still trick them into her lair. Legend says the only force capable of defeating the evil one’s plan is the triad of The Blue Sapphire. Unbeknownst to the three maidens, they are The Blue Sapphire.

Originally written as a fairy tale for bedtime, the stories evolved into an exciting series about friendship, love, and the coming of age. The Blue Sapphire, along with the rest of the series, is an enjoyable escape for those of all ages.
