What would you sacrifice?
Lilly wasn't born for adventure. As an apprentice to the wizard, it is her duty to keep the wizard tower clean, collect the herbs, make the potions, and practice magic. But when she’s put in charge of healing a prisoner of war, her life will never be the same. The prince and king are keeping secrets, all which revolve around a mysterious tree with two sorceresses trapped inside.
Prince Asher, an animal shape-shifter from Vasha, had his life forever altered when the humans invaded his land, killed his mother, and captured him and his father. The humans want to know the location of a rumored tree and are willing to do anything to get it. When he meets an apprentice to the wizard, he never thought he actually might respect a human.
They’re pulled together when the escape plan goes awry and Lily is forced to flee with Asher. And by doing so, she’s pushed into an adventure that not only helps her discover the truth of her past, but unlocks the truth of her destiny.

I found this book while picking some random titles to read and I'm glad I did.
It's a charming little book, Lily is a timid sorcerer that gets unwittingly pulled along on an adventure when she helps free the shape-shifting prince Asher from the castle dungeons.
Despite her lack of awareness about the world outside the castle, Lily isn't depicted as a damsel in distress and her character grows nicely throughout the story.
The pacing was comfortable. it was an easy read and the overall tone of the book isn't too dark despite it touching on some violent themes.
I'm surprised this doesnt have any reviews on goodreads yet and only has a couple on Amazon after being released for a month, it deserves more attention. I'll be waiting patiently for the next installment.

I loved how the plot kept me motivated to keep reading. Each character was thoughtfully written, and I got to know them. I enjoyed how Lily learned more about her magic, herself, and the world. I'm glad Asher and their parents lived, but I'm curious how they will rebuild and what the dragon egg could mean in book 2.
I look forward to reading it; thank you.

An enjoyable read! Initially, I did not think I was going to like this, but it did not take me long to enjoy it. It ended on a cliffhanger, so I am hoping book two is in the works.
