The Daughters of the Baron (Prince Luke of Bel Isle Book 1) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

There had always been a mystery in Baron André’s life. He had managed to get leave from the army when his third child was due to be born.He had arranged with his stable master for his son to take his two young daughters out for a picnic when his wife went into labour and keep them out as long as he could.When they arrived home the first thing they asked was had baby Caroline been born?When he said they were going to call her Pamela, they insisted her name was Caroline. After supper he took them up to see the baby and after they were sent to bed he told his wife that the girls wanted to call her Caroline.‘It’s a nice name’. She told him. ‘If you like it we could go along with their choice.’ The really odd thing was that everyone who had been in the inn had been told the name when the girls had stopped at the village fountain and had spoken with the Publican’s wife and told her it was a girl and she was called Caroline.In Bel Isle, the capital City of Zanabaria the children of the King, Luke and Patricia were growing up. The Prince would be expected to have an army career and his first posting away from Bel Isle was to Seal on the eastern coast where Baron André was stationed.In the very south west of the Kingdom, the Earl of Marchwood on the east border with Lyoness, were surprised to receive an invitation from the Caliph of Darashanda. He consulted with his Duke and decided that he should accept. ‘They want something.’ the Duke said. ‘I wonder what.’
