In This Land: The Purple Book, Volume Four
Spoiler
alert: In This Land is an
ongoing series. The summary teaser for this and other volumes may contain
spoilers.
Orinakin and Bade are finally
engaged! But that means they have to accomplish a mountain of work to pull off a
massive wedding with a global guest list in time for Orinakin's next diplomatic
trip. Bade has to be tutored by an entire team of teachers to be ready to travel
with Orinakin and represent both Orina Anoris and Nosupolis. It's overwhelming,
but everything seems to be going along smoothly until Bade's parents arrive.
King Mindo and Queen Wirra aren't
convinced that the pharaoh is really a deity, they aren't sure of Orinakin's
intentions, and they're not too happy to hear that their country's prince, their
own son, has willingly consented to allowing Orinakin unlimited access to Bade's
thoughts. Anyone would be overjoyed to learn of their child's engagement to the
Anorian royal diplomat, but Mindo is a stubborn man, and he isn't easily
persuaded. Neither Bade nor Orinakin would dream of getting married without
Mindo's approval, so they have to find a way to make Mindo say "yes" before they
can say "I do."
Meanwhile, the time has come for
Talin and Anosanim's ascension. Will fashionable, artistic Anosanim really
transform into a master architect? Can Talin overcome his misgivings about his
true purpose in life and accept the blessings of the gods to become the royal
artist? All the while, Talin and Hitari's tentative relationship gradually grows
stronger, but will Hitari support him through the most important moment of
Talin's life, or will he create more problems?
Revisit Bade, Orinakin, and the rest
of Orinakin's brothers, the eccentric, sexy, multi-colored princes of Orina
Anoris, for the fourth volume of The Purple Book of the series "In This Land."
In This Land: The Purple Book, Volume Four consists of chapters 46-63 of "In This Land." Included is a bonus short story, "Play Along," along with access to exclusive on-line content (the story of Anosanim's first kiss).
