This inner conflict and the resulting angst lasts through much of the book, but, thankfully, there is much else going on that distracts from this slightly annoying self-inflicted emotional drama. YA fiction books are notorious for their teenage angst, and readers will get a double dose of this from Meira and Ceridwen, the hot-headed princess of Summer who witnesses her estranged brother and king being publicly murdered by her lover’s wife, the Queen of Ventralli, during a coup d’etat. Meira believes that the stranger, Rares, is a member of the Order of the Lustrate and will be able to help her learn how to control her magic and locate the keys that are crucial to destroying the source of magic in the world of Primoria – but she is still riven with conflict over her decision to leave her allies behind. ![]() The protagonist and young Queen of Winter, Meira, has just seemingly abandoned her best friend Mather and some of their people to make their own escape from the dungeons of the Donati Palace in Ventralli while she follows a relative stranger who claims to be from the mysterious kingdom of Paisley.
