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

Amelia's horse sped ahead and she grinned as the wind whipped her hair. Riding with her brother, with his guards trailing a ways behind, was a treat she was going to make the most of. Damon insisted she bring her possessions in a travel pack rather than her basket, which he had then carried for her. The two books she had found on herbs, a leg of venison, and her purchases from yesterday were clearly weighing him down - either that or he was letting her win the race back to her cottage.


She turned the corner and her home came into view, but she pulled up short as she saw a familiar figure waiting outside.


Damon joined her a moment later, and leaned over to speak. 'Your problem from yesterday?'


'Would you like me to deal with him?' he asked.


Pushing him away, she said, 'When did I ever need you to fight my battles?'


'Jean, when he kept trying to kiss you.'
