General Winston's Daughter

General Winston's Daughter by Sharon Shinn (ages 12 & up) is a timeless and timely coming of age tale. Averie Winston is a seventeen year-old heiress traveling with her guardian for a reunion with her father and her fiance, and to explore the strange new country they inhabit. With an epic sweep, piquant humor, social commentary and love to spare, this novel is filled with romance.

When eighteen-year-old heiress Averie Winston travels to faraway Chiarrin, she looks forward to the reunion with her father and her handsome fiancé, Morgan. What she finds is entirely different from what she expected. She realizes that Morgan is not the man she thought he was; and she finds herself inexplicably drawn to another. Handsome Lieutenant Ket Du’kai is like no one Averie has ever met, and she enjoys every moment she spends with him, every delicious flirtation. Averie knows she’s still engaged to another man, but she can’t help but think about Lieutenant Du’kai, and she wonders if he feels the same.

“A powerful story, entertaining and satisfying on many levels.” —KLIATT
