This Book is full of suspense and it is hard to put the book down. Kate O'Hearn puts the reader into the book and is a fantastic writer. It is about a magical world with dragons and wizards with a young girl called Kira who dosen't believe that the world she is living in is fair. It is ruled by a King who is frightened -but why?
Kira unlocks the Kings secrets and plots against him.
This Book is a must-read.

Admittedly, this book was written for young adults, but if you want a gripping read then try it. This debut novel by a very talented author will have you under it's spell from the very first page. The characters are refreshingly realistic, from Kira, the brave young heroine to Dane, and Paradon, the loveable wizard whose spells have a terrible habit of going awfully wrong. Not forgetting, of course, Ferarchy, the rogue dragon and Jinx, his loveable offspring.There's Elspeth,with her gift of being able to communicate with animals, and the dragon knights. Evil Lord Dorcan, in fact, everything you could wish for for a truly enchanting read! Boys, girls, and adults alike are certain to enjoy this enthralling novel. If one had to sum this book up in one word, it would have to be 'magic!'I can't wait to read the sequel. Keep it up, Ms O'Hearn!
