Daughter of the Desert by Kaitlyn Carter Brown

5.0

Lystra is the only noble daughter involved in cardant racing and is determined to make her mark in her first season. She and her team are ready to race, but can they gain a foothold in the complicated world of race politics against the other noble houses?

I absolutely adored this fun first peek into the kingdom of Instanolde. Lystra is fierce and determined and bravely faces up to the many challenges in order to realise her dream of racing and breeding her beloved cardants (desert dragon creatures). Daughter of the Desert has everything I enjoy about a fantasy world: intriguing politics, romance, action and fantastical creatures. I fell in love with this beautiful desert world and its fascinating people. Can't wait for the rest of the story.
