in
the
crumbling
village
of
Tulan,
Elara
is
determined
to
learn

even

Meanwhile,
in
Galandria's
royal
capital,
Princess
Wilha
stands
out
as
someone
to
either
worship
or
fear.
Though
no
one
knows
why
the
king
has
always
made
her
conceal
her
face—including
Wilha
herself.
When
an
assassination
attempt
threatens
the
peace
of
neighboring

Elara
and
Wilha
are
brought

to
face
.

chance
at
claiming
new
identities.
However,
with
dark
revelations
now
surfacing,
both
girls
will
need
to
decide
if
brighter
futures
are
worth
the
binding
risks.

Recenzii
“Light
romance
and
strong
female
characters
make
it
an
ideal
choice
for
tween
girls,
and
the
dual
viewpoint
narration
aids
the
plot's
momentum.
This
delightfully
fanciful
tale
will
find
a
captive
audience
among
fans
of
Gail
Carson
Levine.”
