About the Book
Nothing is as it seems in the kingdom of Antora. Kestra Dallisor has spent three years in exile in the Lava Fields, but that won't stop her from being drawn back into her father's palace politics. He's the right hand man of the cruel king, Lord Endrick, which makes Kestra a valuable bargaining chip. A group of rebels knows this all too well -- and they snatch Kestra from her carriage as she reluctantly travels home.
The kidnappers want her to retrieve the lost Olden Blade, the only object that can destroy the immortal king, but Kestra is not the obedient captive they expected. Simon, one of her kidnappers, will have his hands full as Kestra tries to foil their plot, by force, cunning, or any means necessary. As motives shift and secrets emerge, both will have to decide what -- and who -- it is they're fighting for.
Jennifer A. Nielsen introduces us to an unforgettable new heroine in this epic tale of treachery and intrigue, love and deceit.
My Take on the Book
WOW, this is great book with amazing characters that are challenged by many amazing situations throughout the book. The two main characters, Kestra and Simon are ones that have so many ups and downs throughout the book that they have to overcome. My daughter and I read this together and we loved to see all of the twists and turns within the book. The book has adventure, mystery and more which made the book a quick read. There were so many intricate actions that brought forth traitors from a resistance group and you have to see how Kestra deals with this group and works to save her own family. However, as she works with the people that she believes are traitors at the beginning, she learns more and more that will make her faith in her own family falter and in the end she will have to make a choice that will define her future.
