The kingdoms of Alturra, Lecentia, Omnek, Sonjern and Terrak'temon were at constant war over natural resources, magic use and ocean access before they formed a binding peace agreement. Now each kingdom takes a turn at hosting the Maintenance of Peace, consisting of a swordplay tournament and Peace agreement signing. It's Lecentia's turn to host, and heirs from the five kingdoms will attend and compete. Princess Kelyn of Lecentia and her cousin Lukar must accomodate their competitors, but not everyone has noble intentions. Kelyn must balance hosting duties, blossoming friendships, desire for victory and suspicions of scheming heirs with selfish aims. Can she determine whom she can trust before it's too late? Find out in Hosting the Peace, book 1 in the YA fantasy series: The Maintenance of Peace. Stay tuned for book 2: Breaking the Peace.
