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

'I ran into Casey in the stables. She said the two of you gave Mina a few home truths today,' Aliah said to her husband as she flicked her plait over her shoulder, dislodging a stray twig caught in her hair as she did. She picked it up and walked over to the rubbish bin to dispose of it.


The request to join Dominic in his study was waiting for her when she returned from her ride. With little time to meet with him and change before her lunch with Mina, she elected to remain in her riding clothes.


'Let's say I gave her food for thought.' Dominic's nose wrinkled. 'I know I said we needed to talk immediately, but you could've bathed and changed first.'


'Why? Is someone else joining us?' She dropped into a chair.


Ignoring her question, Dominic passed her two letters. He waited patiently while she scanned their contents.


'So, Hubert's mission failed to make contact at all, and Liam is concerned about escalating activity within Sanctuary's borders.'
