The Lost Kingdom of Daughters

Lazo, beautiful and free-spirited, longs to become a mother. When two brothers, Noah and Adam Starlings, arrive stranded and starving, they are met with Lazo’s generosity. Adam, a charming artist with a restless heart, is intrigued by the no-marriage custom, but Noah, a physician with a traumatic past, values fidelity above all. As the brothers attempt to make sense of a world where men hold little power, they grow attracted to Lazo, deepening their fraught relationships, even as jealousy, betrayal, and a buried secret threaten to destroy them—and the lives of a generation to come. Weaving in a multigenerational quest for the truth, this rare novel conjures a spellbinding story of freedom and forgiveness, breathing life into a vanishing culture while charting an inevitable clash between tradition and modernity. © 2026 by Weina Dai Randel, all rights reserved.
