A young woman, desperate to save her kingdom, begins her journey to becoming the leader her people need. The characters are well drawn—I was immersed into the story right away. I couldn’t wait to see what trouble Ravin would get herself into, and how she’d get herself out. A true coming-of-age story wrapped in a fictional world where not all is as it seems. I kept turning the page. Young Adult and adults should really enjoy this first book in the saga. I know I did.
