Publisher Description

A princess fights a faceless enemy in a forest filled with magic in this tale of “high-style fantasy and adventure” from the author of Dealing with Dragons (The New York Times).
 Trouble is brewing in Alkyra. While the kingdom’s noblemen squabble, on their borders an ancient enemy, the Lithmern, raises an army. As the head of the Noble House of Brenn attempts to organize an alliance, the princess Alethia celebrates her twentieth birthday. She is a remarkable woman: quick-witted, beautiful, and handy with a throwing knife. But on the next night, she passes through a dark corridor on her way to the banquet hall, and never emerges from the shadows. The Lithmern have kidnapped the princess. When Alethia regains consciousness, an evil Lithmern with a face made of shadows is carrying her through the forest. These are magic woods, home to fabled creatures whose existence she has always doubted. To find her way home, Alethia will have to learn to trust in the old tales, whose legends of magic and daring hold the only hope of saving her kingdom.

“Fun and easy read! This is a classic high fantasy style book written in a way that is accessible to everyone.”
“I actually really liked this book. If you don’t go in thinking that this is going to be the most brilliant fantasy you’ve ever read (it was Patricia Wrede’s first book), you’ll probably enjoy it. It has an engaging plot with some fun characters. I also really like the Lyra novels in that I started with book 2 and have never been completely confused. I think reading them i order does help with the background, but you can read them in any order you want. (I also admit I have forgotten quite a bit of all the plot, but I remember I enjoyed it.)”
