Lady Elanna was taken hostage as a young child so her father, the opposing king, would not attack. Now the king who raised her has been poisoned and she is being blamed for his death. She goes on the run which only makes her look guilty. She believes she knows who is responsible but has no way to prove it. She also has magic over the land which makes her an outcast and a criminal. Everyone is after her now.

The book is a bit slow; the characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the first person point of view. This book had a lot of promise, but I could not connect with the characters. If you like young adult fantasy books, you may enjoy reading this
