Crown Prince Valamon was never intended to be the next king. In court, he is considered slow, shallow and strange. But when Valamon is unexpectedly kidnapped, Seris the cleric and Elhan are recruited by Valamon's brother, Falon, to go find him. But Elhan isn't who everyone thinks she is. She's the Kali-Adelsa, a cursed girl that brings the promise of destruction where ever she goes and is constantly on the run from enemies that threaten to kill her. Together, they have to combine their forces to free the lost prince, but it might be too late... Will they be able to save him?

The intricate plot was the best part of the book. It was very very well written and had many layers to it. The characters were great. Absolutely loved them. Elhan is so badass and awesome even though she has her insecurities. Seris is a really great guy and cares for everyone. He always thinks the best about everyone. Valamon wasn't as stupid as everyone thought. I mean, he did manage to escape from the prison three times. Haska is also very well-developed. She was very elaborate character with different faces.
It was a very fun book. Very centered on the political aspect, but it didn't make it any less enjoyable. I think that I just wished for a little more...spectacular ending. Other than that, it's pretty good.
