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

Having shut the door behind them, Seamus pulled her hand through the crook of his arm and led her along the indoor corridors of the cave system they called home and others called Sanctuary. When they reached the enormous three-story hall of the main entrance, they stopped, leaned against the second-tier balcony, and gazed out into the almost circular hall Emer's ancestors had hewn from the mountain. The late afternoon sun bronzed the rocks, softening the usually imposing feel of Sanctuary's vestibule.

She took a deep breath and released it slowly. She waited for the tension to fully leave her body before she answered. 'I can't do my job while they insist on wrapping me in cotton wool. I'm so frustrated.'


'Do you want to talk about what happened?'


She squeezed his arm. 'It won't help. We both know what the real problem is, and getting annoyed at the symptoms does not help anyone.'
