Solimar: The Sword of the Monarchs
Ever since Solimar was a little girl, she has gone to the ouamel forest bordering her kingdom to observe the monarch butterflies during their migration, but always from a safe distance. Now, on the brink of her quinceañera and her official coronation, Solimar crosses the dangerous creek to sit among the butterflies. There, a mysterious event gives her a gift and a burden — the responsibility to protect the young and weak butterflies with her magical rebozo, or silk shawl. Solimar is committed to fulfilling her role, and has a plan that might have worked. But when her father and her brother leave on an expedition, a neighboring king overthrows the kingdom and holds everyone left in the village hostage. Can Solimar save her family, the kingdom, and the future of the monarchs from a greedy king?
