I would highly recommend this story. The story involves a war between the royals and the rebels of the kingdom. Karkoff intends to have his son Aiden kill the king so that he may take over the throne. A prophecy had said that a royal and a rebel would come together in their eighteenth year and end the war. On the day of Princess Aithnes and Aidens 18th birthday, the rebels storm the castle and under his father’s instruction, Aiden kills the king. Aithne flees the castle and is injured. Aiden, not knowing that she is a royal, brings her to the rebel village to be treated. When she awakens, she does not dare reveal her true identity and pretends to be a personal maid to her sister, now Queen Daphne. She demands to be taken back to the castle. Aiden takes her on a journey back under his father’s instruction that he find out inside knowledge about the castle to be used to kill the current queen. During that journey, their feelings for each other develop and the prophecy begins to come into play. However, Aidens father suspects his son may not do his bidding, and unbeknownst to Aithne and Aiden, he plans to storm the castle once again and kill any royal which remains in his path to take over the throne.
This is an excellent story. It keeps you involved and hoping that the main characters overcome all obstacles. It features some other great characters which add to the story such as Aithnes sister Daphne and her husband Lysander. Overall this is definitely worth a read!
