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

Mina snuggled her face into Brownie's neck. The horse she had learned to ride on was now too old for the long treks she favoured to escape the confines of the castle and had been put out to pasture. She had not yet chosen a replacement mount, and often visited her faithful companion when she was feeling down.


This evening, she had a lot to think about, not the least was how she was going to overcome her anxiety about using the magic inside her. Once she figured a way around her fear, she still then had to find a way to learn how to use it before applying to join the guard as a scout.


Brownie's coat shone with care and attention, and the horse nuzzled her jacket near the pocket Mina normally kept his treats in. As she reached for the apple, she and the animal both froze. The air around them tingled as if it was charged like a magnet.
