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 returned and stood by Angus, who had abandoned his chair.

'I love you, Seamus, now and forever.' She repeated the words she had said at their binding as her hand reached for the place where her bangle usually sat.


Tears streamed down her face, reading Seamus's concern as he moved towards the caves. Angus and Amelia tried to hold him back, but he would not be stopped. The final bell tolled, and the entrance disappeared moments before he reached it.


'You cannot do this!' she heard him yell. 'Have we not given enough? Send her back. Take me instead.'
