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?

Once her mount came to a stop, she waited a moment, listening to the birds chirp in the trees, before gazing on the scene her brother presented.


'Ta-dah.' He swept his arm out, encouraging her to take it all in.


She gasped with audible surprise. Damon had been right; the cottage was perfect. With its thatched roof and whitewashed walls, the two-storey dwelling was perhaps better described as a house. Nestled in behind was a stable and barn and, was that an orchard?
