Content in her father’s wise kingdom, Princess Journee loves life but has one nagging question: Who is she? Yes, she is a mouse and a princess, but who is she really? With her adventurous spirit and her father’s mighty steed to protect her, she goes on a quest to find herself. The adventure takes an interesting turn when she befriends a toad and an owl who tell her about a legendary Pond of Reflection known to reveal one’s true identity.

Journee is not only a mouse but a princess who loves adventure, especially when she has them alongside her best friends. Not long after their very first escapade together, finding the legendary Pond of Reflection, the four companions find themselves in yet another wild exploit, that is decidedly dangerous and threatens the entire kingdom. On one lovely fall day, they discover a furry blob on top of a boulder and learn of a message for Journee’s father, the Great Mouse King. Mr. Badger’s message warns the king of a formidable army of locusts gathering on the kingdom’s northern border in the Great Plains by the sea. The king and his Council devise an unlikely plan to not only help the locusts but hopefully thwart the significant threat they pose to the kingdom. This plan’s success will require the help of every kingdom animal and a very special gift of the rock hyraxes.

In my world, art isn’t just beauty—it’s a battleground. My name is Elena, and I’ve staked my gallery’s future on a painting that’s as much a target as it is a treasure. But when a cold-hearted crime lord sets his sights on it, my life’s work is suddenly under siege.

To the rescue, maybe, are Dominic, Robert, and Lucien—three guys who are as mysterious as they are drop-dead gorgeous. Dominic’s tall, muscular, and brooding, Robert’s got a vibe that’s both calm and commanding, and Lucien’s creativity hides a wild side. They’ve become my unexpected allies in this mess.

Trusting them isn’t easy, especially when I’ve been burned before. They’ve got secrets of their own, ones that could change everything I think I know about them. And as the danger mounts, I find myself drawn to them in ways I can’t explain.

The closer we get, the more intense things become, both with the threats again
