He couldn't help his past any more than he could help the way those intense, deep blue eyes pierced me and held me captive. An 18-year-old queen is in love with the enemy as their countries pass the point of no return....
Bound to a man she cannot love, Queen Alera of Hytanica must forget Narian, the young man who holds her heart. For Narian is destined to conquer Hytanica at the behest of his master, the powerful magic-user known as the Overlord. Alera doesn't truly believe Narian will fight against Hytanica - until Cokyrian troops attack with Narian commanding the charge.
Faced with the greatest betrayal a heart can know, Alera must set aside personal feelings and lead her kingdom through its darkest time. And when all hope, will, and courage seem lost, she must find strength and remember that even the blackest night must have a dawn.

"This book was so amazing!! The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because I hated the ending.... I also read this one before he first in the series, and that had a lot to do with my dislike of the ending. But the author is sixteen, and she's an amazing writer!" — Miranda (4 out of 5 stars)

" She should have ended up with Steldor. Narian was only in the first book for about 40 pages and hardly in the second book. What is this? Plus you cannot just make Steldor super sweet and then just put her with Narian. "
" Seriously?! Noooo! That ending was terrible. And how can there still be another book in the series? "
" I kinda wish she ends up with Steldor now. "
" Whats the third book called? I love the series so far... Though the fact that Alera hated Steldor kinda made me mad seeing as he obviously cared for her in his own way. Cant wait for the third !! "
" It was a fun read. There is one more book in the series that comes out later this fall. "
" Well, I managed to read it all. But that is 490 pages of reading I will never get back. Full review to follow. "
