In a world full of magic and mystery, eighteen-year-old Maia is the
exiled princess of Comoros and rightful heir to the throne. Forced to
live as a servant in her enemy's home, Maia flees her captors and begins
a perilous quest to save her people. To survive, she must use magic she
has learned in secret--despite the fact that women are forbidden to
control it. Hunted by enemies at every turn, Maia realizes that danger
lurks within her, too. Her powers threaten to steal not only her
consciousness but also her sense of right and wrong. Can she set herself
free and save the realm she loves--even if her people have forgotten
her? In bestselling author Jeff Wheeler's fantasy epic, the answer may
be only the beginning to Maia's journey throughout the mystical land of
Muirwood.
