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

The atmosphere in the cave had changed, and the ghostlike form of a goddess appeared in front of her. Emer recognised her as the one the people of Aria worshipped simply as "The Goddess". Emer moved into a kneeling position, not as a sign of worship, but as a precursor to standing.


'I think you have already guessed, haven't you?'


Emer nodded as she moved to her feet to look the god directly in the eyes. 'This is some sort of choice between my family and the freedom of my animal forms.'


The goddess raised both her hands palm upwards, gesturing for her to continue.


'Are you telling me to keep one I must give up the other?' Emer's voice trembled. To never be able to change form again was like cutting off a limb. Her life would be completely different. Would she still be the same person if she did? But it was no choice - she would always choose her family.
