About
To help her miserable sister, Princess Liesel must survive the elements, danger…and her grumpy guard.
Princess Liesel's older sister, Verena, hasn't smiled in years. Desperate to improve her low spirits, the king declares that the man who can make Verena laugh will earn her hand in marriage.
But his plan seems doomed to failure from the start. Each unsuccessful attempt only makes Verena more despondent, and a set of mysterious masked suitors raises suspicions about a plot by an enemy prince. When Liesel discovers her sister still harbors feelings for a guard who was sent away years before, she embarks on a desperate quest to find him, both for the sake of Verena's future happiness and their kingdom's safety.
As increasingly dangerous challenges hinder Liesel's journey, she begins to wonder if they're more than coincidence. Will she and her travel companions even make it to Verena's former guard, let alone convince him to return with them?
With each impediment drawing her closer to her own surly knight, more than just her sister's happily-ever-after may be hanging in the balance.
A Noble Purpose is a New Adult Christian fantasy Hans, Who Made the Princess Laugh retelling and is Book #1 in the Cornerstone Series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
Laurie Lucking has always loved diving into imaginary worlds through books, but didn't start writing her own stories until she left her career as an attorney to become a stay-at-home mom. After growing up in Wisconsin, she hopped the border into Minnesota to attend St. Olaf College and the University of Minnesota Law School, and she continues to make Minnesota her home with her husband and two young sons. When she gets a break from playing super heroes and driving wind-up cars, Laurie enjoys reading, singing, connecting with other moms, and writing young adult fantasy, always with a central love story to satisfy her inner romantic.
