The Purple Haze
No one returns when they fall into the fog. Can she break the spell and save her sister?
Princess Eloise Hydra Gumball III is all about peace, love, and being a little OCD. As the meticulous Future Ruler and Heir with an almost-useless magical gift, she’s totally over the toxic pressure of her impending rise to the throne. But when a prophecy points to her royal twin’s peril, a simple quest with her chattering chipmunk champion becomes a complicated journey that could send her to her doom.
Utterly out of her comfort zone, Eloise’s clumsy attempt to extract information from a stern queen descends into a fuzzy night of free-spirited fun. But the noble high turns into a depressing downer when a fatal seabound discovery brings her face-to-face with a kingdom split by a treacherous violet mist.
Can Eloise find her sister and her own strength before they’re caught in a killer cloud?
The Purple Haze is the first book in the hilarious Western Lands and All That Really Matters fantasy series. If you like tongue-in-cheek humor, vivid medieval worlds, and clever cultural references, then you’ll love Andrew Einspruch’s playful adventure.
