Now, he follows Helena across the sea to help her regain what she lost. When the crown fell, he found himself on the unlikely side of those trying to save it. When shocking news comes out of Gaule, Helena realizes the fight for Madra hasn't ended. Convincing her to train a princess she barely knows is something else entirely. Convincing the foreign warrior queen to let her stay is easy. Etta is everything Helena wishes she could have been for her family and everything she hopes to be still. She knows it from stories of magic and war but now finds herself at the mercy of the intimidating Basile queen. Her family dead or missing, Helena seeks help from the kingdom across the sea. On the shores of Madra, rebellion has won. Would recommend for a little mini adventure without the poisoned bite some fairytale/fantasy books can have.A shattered princess is a vengeful princess. Now at eighteen, she must find a way to return in order to obey a curse on her family line. I am very interested in seeing where this author takes the story. Ten year old Persinette Basile was forced to flee the palace of Gaule for her life. I bought the next book coming out immediately after finishing this one.

The perfect mix of firece and tough, yet loving and passionate. These felt a little used, but the action was riveting and Etta was a great heroine. Typical plot and theme, forbidden love, king who feels betrayed, but actually betrays people with less power because he is afraid, people afraid of what they don’t understand, mindless following, but not questioning until it is too late. I loved the characters and the story line. “Quick read, but was not rushed or lacking in details or world building. An exciting read and wonderful start to a series! Highly Recommend.” From the beginning all the way to the end there is constant action propelling the story forward, and about the time you think you’re going to catch your breath another twist happens, expertly crafted, to make you rethink your opinions of certain characters and your thoughts on how you think the story is going to unfold. I thought I would nestle in and have another night full of reading only to find I’d read WAY more than I thought I did the first night and only had four pages left in the book! I wanted more! Good thing it is book one in a series! I am officially hooked and HAVE to know what happens. But I guess that could be considered a good thing. “I will start this by saying, I was sad the book ended.
