The Sea of Silver Grass: Book One of the Astaria Duology - Paperback

by Amy Kurth (Author)

In a world where ancient magic and ruthless ambition collide, Jesra's journey begins in obscurity and ends in destiny. As a healer among the nomadic Grass Tribes, Jesra's druidic powers are a closely guarded secret-until the arrival of Kirek, a mysterious stranger searching for the heir to the throne of Astaria. When Jesra learns she is the lost princess of a fallen kingdom, her life is irrevocably changed.

Forced to flee the only home she has ever known, Jesra must navigate treacherous alliances, uncover hidden truths, and awaken the full potential of her magic. Alongside a band of unlikely allies-including a fierce tactician, a loyal spy, and a kinpira witch mastering chaos magic-Jesra wages a desperate rebellion against Queen Ulaan, the tyrant who usurped her mother's throne.

But Ulaan's power is more formidable than Jesra ever imagined. Wielding stolen heartstones that grant her magic, Ulaan seeks to dominate not only Astaria but the balance of elemental forces themselves. As Jesra's resistance grows, so does the cost of victory-both in blood and in trust. With betrayal at every turn and her allies' lives on the line, Jesra must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to reclaim her birthright and restore harmony to her fractured world.

The Sea of Silver Grass is an epic tale of magic, courage, and the unyielding fight for freedom, perfect for fans of immersive worlds and deeply human characters.
