I was a bit afraid to read this book because I Loved Kristin Ward’s Daughter of Erabel series. What if this book didn’t live up to that? Let me tell you, there was no reason to fear being let down.

Ward is an exceptional author. Her characters are real, her landscapes are stunning, and her plots are well-thought-out. I couldn’t put this book down until the last page was turned, and then, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
