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

Once Nene had departed, Amelia grabbed the basket containing the goods for her old home in Port Marden. Feeling the need for some time to think, she said, 'Anders, I am going to deliver this first and meet you at the markets. That way I will not be rushing at the end of the day.'


Frowning, Anders said, 'I do not understand why your special buyer cannot come to market like everyone else, but I guess now is as good a time as any to make the delivery.'


Shaking her head at Anders' behaviour this morning, Amelia refused to explain her actions to anyone, and headed off along the street, not waiting to see what Anders did.


Cook was pleased to see her, and Amelia added the payment to the purse she carried with her market fees and a small amount of coins for day-to-day purchases. Foregoing a cup of tea because she did not want to leave all the work at the market to Anders, especially not in his present mood, Amelia said her goodbyes.
