Sword of Waters

Arisa, the young, female protagonist, has gotten over the glitter and pomp that life at court requires. So much so, that she allows her mother, the realm's military commander, to tempt her with fencing lessons. The catch? Arisa has to befriend the spoiled prince, Edoran. Except...he's not as spoiled as she thought. Is he? One thing's for sure. He's weird! But the more time she spends with him, the more Arisa sees that he didn't have any fun becoming the way he is.
When chance leads Arisa to a possible den of traitors, she leaps at the chance to investigate on her own. In fact, I got the distinct impression that she prefers scrubbing tavern floors to the dancing lessons! The investigation takes a dangerous turn, forcing her to confide in show more the adults in her life. And that's when things get really bad. The return of the Sword of Waters only complicates things further. At the end of the book, Arisa is between the proverbial rock and hard spot, and there's no squirming out of it. show less

A great book, but it leaves you hanging for a book that doesn't exist. If this is supposed to be a trilogy, where's the third book?
