Power has been snatched from the hands of the Empire Princess by the maniacal Sigried. The Empire’s great fleet had set sail in search of a legendary treasure island, Kuba, leaving the Haven unprotected. A portentous vision meant the fleet had been tricked by a treacherous enemy to force Stacy, the Empire Princess, to confront her sometime friend and now arch-enemy Sigried in the faraway and mysterious land of Kuba, a dark and forbidding place. It is Sigried, ruler of Kuba, who is on the advance against her, capturing her niece Mara and holding her to ransom. Stacy enlists the help of Assad, a mercenary, and has on her side Cicero, who can change into a wolf or a dragon. Loyal Alryc, the astronomer, is by her side, along with Guard Captain Melinda, faithful companions in a long, arduous journey. Stacy disguises herself as Lady Kesa, coming across Lord Quentin of Kuba. Her ambition is to return home, as she carries the onus of leading her people in a role that was thrust upon her. ‘Dungeons of Kuba’ is the second book in the Empire Princess series. It is a thrilling fantasy adventure tale in which heroine Stacy must fight against all odds to reclaim her lost throne. ‘The Haven is a superb creation and I have been recommending it to all.
