Publisher Comments:

An impressive debut, equal parts commercial appeal and literary prowess.

Princess Aurelia is next in line to rule the kingdom of Tyralt, but she would rather be one of the common folk, free to learn and roam and...not marry the next tyrannical prince that comes courting. Naturally, the king wants Aurelia to marry for political power. Aurelia wants to marry for love. And someone in the kingdom wants her...dead. Assigned to investigate and protect Aurelia is Robert, the son of the king's former royal spy and one of Aurelia's oldest friends. As Aurelia and Robert slowly uncover clues as to who is threatening her, their friendship turns to romance. With everything possible on the line — her life, her kingdom, her heart — Aurelia is forced to take matters into her own hands, no matter the cost.

Though this is written as a teen book as an adult I enjoyed it immensely. I would recommend it to any teen looking for a wonderful read with fresh and delightful dialogue; though any hopeless romantic like me would love the book as well. The characters are amazing and written so well you can't help but feel you know them. I fell in love with Aurelia's compassion and spunk and hope to find out more about her adventures. I would also recommend this book to any young horse lovers out there. I am intrigued by the world she created combining palace and frontier life.

Aurelia - she caught my eye from the beginning when she was sitting uncomfortably at her sister's coming out party--wishing to be anywhere else! Her character grew on me throughout the book, she has more to reveal I believe! She is stubborn, witty, sarcastic, and quite the heroine despite nearly getting herself killed! Her supporting characters are also fascinating--from the tall horseman named Drew in his top hat to her hapless comrade and classmate, Robert. I can't wait to see where her next adventure will lead...
