In The Great Pursuit, the dramatic sequel to the New York Times
bestselling The Great Hunt, Wendy Higgins delivers another thrilling
fantasy filled with dangerous enemies, political intrigue, searing
romance, and a princess who is willing to do everything to protect her
kingdom.
One hunt has ended, but the pursuit for love and justice continues.
The kingdom of Lochlanach has traded the great beast that once
terrorized the realm of Eurona for something far more dangerous: the ire
of powerful Lashed woman Rosaria Rocato. Rosaria demands that Eurona
overturn the laws prohibiting magic, or an innocent will be killed each
day.
Despite the king's resistance, Princess Aerity believes they must make
peace with the Lashed, and though she's accepted a betrothal to the man
who took down the beast, she cannot help thinking about Paxton, the
Lashed man who stole her heart and disappeared.
Aerity soon discovers that Paxton has joined Rosaria's army in the war
against her family. Though her feelings for him are still strong, her
duty to her kingdom and her family is stronger--especially when her
parents are kidnapped and she has to step up to the throne and once
again put aside what's best for her in order to do what's best for her
people. Paxton and Princess Aerity must fight to see what is more
powerful: their love or the impending war between the magical Lashed and
the non-magic humans.
