Sneaking out of the palace wasn’t one of Aniri’s best ideas. But she’s the Third Daughter of the Queen of Dharia—zero responsibilities and zero royal duties. She’s just the backup daughter, in case her older sisters’ arranged marriages—to take the crown or broker an alliance—don’t quite work out. But once Aniri reaches her 18th birthday, she’ll be truly free… and then she can marry the charming … charming fencing instructor she meets for fevered kisses in the forest.
But then the impossible happens—a marriage proposal. From a barbarian prince in the north, no less. And if Aniri refuses, the threat of their new flying weapon might bring war.
So she agrees to the young prince’s proposal, but only as a subterfuge to spy on him, find the weapon, and hopefully avoid both war and an arranged marriage to a man she doesn’t love. But once she arrives in the sweeping mountains of the north, she discovers the prince has his own secrets… and saving her country may end up breaking her heart.
This Bollywood-style royal romance takes you to an alternate East Indian world filled with skyships, saber duels, and lots of royal intrigue.
THIRD DAUGHTER is the first book in the Royals of Dharia trilogy.

this was a quick nice read, some parts were swoon worthy and the H in this book seems really really all round great guy.
Great book! I enjoyed it!
Interesting premise. Seemed more like a YA type book but did enjoy.
Great characters, couldn’t put it down, and I read the entire series in a week.
A great read.
This was more of a short story, with no real ending.
I enjoyed it and had a hard time putting it down!
This book had to build up then it took off in another direction. It was whimsical in fantasy land. It was twisted with one in love with another who didn’t feel the same way about them. It was maddening at times also. She made these characters come alive with love and trust.
The book would not download correctly, every 1st page would be blank

I’m anxious to read the two other books in the series.
It was a nice change from the typical romance. A look into a different culture. Overall it was a good read.
Plot has some surprising twists and is an easy read.
Really enjoyed this one. Kept my interest all the way.
If l was this 3rd daughter l wouldn’t complain.
Interesting read. A little mystical. But fun!
I enjoyed this book greatly. I always love to travel to “other” worlds, and this is an interesting one.
After reading this one, I purchased the next two in the series.
