Readers' Comments
“This is a wonderful fantasy novel. I loved the complexity of the plot and the strength of Lilla. There's plenty of suspense and growing magical skills to keeps fantasy loved turning the page.” Male reader, aged 55
“Compelling fantasy drama with elements of romance. The plot is not simple – there's a lot going on – but I didn't mind that. The characters, particularly Lilla, a rebel princess, develop a lot, and there are so many twists in the plot, I got dizzy. Loved it; I will be reading book two.” Female reader, aged 57
“Amazing artwork on the cover, well-written blurb, excellent plotting, strong character development. Possibly too many characters!? Don't know, but I did have to work hard to keep up. Can the princess save the kingdom? I enjoyed finding out although I suspect a lot of the answers will be in later books.” Male reader, aged 38

To Sum It Up:
'A cleverly plotted fantasy adventure with a strong, likeable protagonist. A GOLD MEDAL WINNER and highly recommended.' The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
