Life in the small village of Caer Fyrddin was anything but exciting. But when a mysterious rider comes to town, excitement was exactly what they got. Dragon fire, fire that burned so hot that it showed blue, hadn't been seen in the queendom since the fall of the age of the dragons. And yet, the mysterious rider had a way of wielding it. In the destroyed remnants of her village, Ludmila found a blue crystal. Her mother's dying wish was for her to keep it safe from the dark rider. But in order for her to manage that, she must race across the queendom, collecting the other crystals before the mysterious rider can. When dealing with embracing ones destiny, one must avoid getting burned.

Princess Starlite and the Blue Ice Crystal started out as a play that I wrote and was produced at Biloxi Little Theatre in Biloxi, Mississippi. When I converted it to a book, changes were made to the title and some of the characters, but the basic story is the same. Princess Starlite rules the Blue Ice Kingdom, and the Blue Ice Crystal has the power to protect the kingdom from all harm. The Wicked Spellbinder steals the Crystal and threatens to cast spells on this kingdom and all the adjoining kingdoms. Chief True Blue, the finest tracker in the land, and his Siberian husky, Sasha, are called in to capture the spellbinder and retrieve the Blue Ice Crystal. The Wicked Spellbinder creates dangerous and perilous spellbinding situations in the path of the intrepid chief and his courageous husky assistant. There are many comic situations that the chief and Sasha encounter on their journey. There are the Ruby villagers, who are under the spellbinders spell and can only talk and sing in animal voices; the Emerald villagers, who are under his spell and can only walk backward; and the Sapphire villagers, who form the human rattlesnake chain.

Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either.

But Sophie still has secrets, and they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans?
