Who in their right mind wants to be Queen? Frustrated by an old enemy and distracted by border rumblings, Aliah really doesn't have time to deal with a disobedient daughter.

Tried of being told what she can and can't do, Princess Mina rails against the constraints of her position. Why can't her mother understand that all she wants to do is join the guards and travel the land?

As Queen Aliah weaves family tales, of princesses and witches, boys who disappear and humans who can fly, will her daughter realize the importance of these stories and rise to the challenge? And will she do it in time to face the new threat to their home?

Admina's Argument

Dappled sunlight danced over the thick rug covering the wooden floor. Dominic curled up in the chair by the window, waiting for his mother to arrive. Each day she would spend time with her sons, teaching them to read and about the history of their country.

Sometimes the duchess was late though, as she had many other duties to attend to. On those days, he loved to sit in her chair and stare out the window, watching the comings and goings on his father's estate.


He was brought back from daydreaming by the squeak the door made as it opened. When he asked his mother why no one oiled it, she replied she liked to know when someone entered her rooms.
