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

Too much of Peter's special mead the night before made it difficult to get herself out of bed the next morning. Snuggling deeper into the bedclothes, she rolled around until she found a comfortable spot and tried to go back to sleep. Unfortunately guilt overcame lethargy. Kicking the blankets off, she forced herself to get up.


Making herself a cup of reviving tea, Amelia avoided looking at the dishes she had not washed yesterday. After taking a chair outside, she sipped her tea in the sun and planned her day. Having closed her eyes for a moment, she jerked them open to find Anders standing in front of her, a big grin on his face


'Good morning,' he said cheerfully, and she grunted in response. 'I see you are not doing too well this morning. Dad's home brew can do that to you.'


Her stomach sunk a little, she needed a frank talk with Anders about her expectations for the future. Now was as good a time as any. 'Would you like some tea? The water is still hot.'
