My Thoughts: From the first page I was swept away into this unique and riveting world that Marlene Wynn created. I could not set this book down for a second and ate up every bit of detail. I needed to know what would happen next, which left me reading until the middle of the night several times. This fantasy land full of intrigue, betrayal and magic kept me completely entrapped in the story line, I absolutely loved this book!! 

Chandrea is on a whirl wind of adventure with one surprise after the next. She is a very strong character taking on all that is thrown her way throughout the book, making it easy to feel personally invested in her well being. She continues to overcome one obstacle after the next on her journey, while meeting amazing individuals along the way. I just love all the characters and how the story develops for each one. There is not one this I didn't enjoy about this book! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves epic fantasy!!
