The realm needs magic again, and the the King of Aegunlund has been waiting for the first craft-born girl to marry his son, Prince Casimir. In Mae's town of Halts-Walden, the ambitious miller claims his daughter Ellen is craft-born. Mae knows this is a load of hogwash, but she's glad Ellen will have the unfortunate pleasure of becoming queen instead of her. All she has to do is sit back and wait until Casimir and Ellen are married, then she will finally be free of the threat of her fate. But on that day an event so shocking and terrible occurs that Mae finds herself entering the neighbouring cursed forest on a quest she never thought she'd have to follow.

One of the finest fantasies I have read in a while...

These books will grip you, and refuse to let go! Power, tragedy, strength, hate, sorrow, but most of all love is what you will find in this riveting series. The characters feel real, the triumphs and heartbreak will move you, and for those who crave action and adventure, fear not... they are here in plenty! Strong characters, magic, warmth, humor and sorrow, all bound together in a well written tale for the younger readers and adults alike. Congratulations to the author for a winner of a seies! I look forward to enjoying more of her work! Highly recommended and much enjoyed!

A very tattered Heroine.

So I am a softhearted romantic. Without spoiling the story, Mae suffers a lot but emerges victorious. With each devastating blow I wanted her to be magically restored. It does not happen.

I enjoyed this book series, especially as I bought it as a complete finished boxed set and did not have to wait for the author to keep up with my reading speed. There is plenty of action and magic to make the story exciting and a little bit of romance. The characters are well rounded.

[Kaye Parnell]

An exciting & entertaining adventure of good versus evil & the development of inner strength for young people The message is loud & clear..believe in yourself & have faith in your own abilities..a good message for all in this day & age of so much depressing world news!! The ending while sad adds strength & a future full of hope for the main character ...must mention a few errors..Mae hands " a tissue" to Ellen...& there were a few other " modern day" references but always amusing to pick them up..editing ain't perfect!!

[Larry Thurston]

Long explanations

I was very frustrated with this book or should I say the author. The explanations are to long. I feel like she is just filling space. I had to stop reading it.

Magic, Adventure, Romance....what more do you need?

Mae's story is pretty interesting. I would like to know what happens after her adventure and more about her family. I don't want to give anything away but I'm sure this is not the end of her story!

[Alana Gililand]

This book series was wonderful but I cried for good 30 minutes. The end was too much heartbreak. I thought that because the main characters were so young it would take away some of the excitement but it didn’t. I actually think it helped.

The white Hart series.

I first read the white Hart in another book series. It was so interesting that once I finished with that book I looked for the series. And I'm glad I did. This series was so interesting that I couldn't wait for the next book.

[Laila]

Great series of adventures and love

It started off a little slow but became a read that was very hard to put down. Mae is an inspiring character with a lot of growth in a short time.

[Kimberly]

Much more for young than adult. Found the writing simple and the plot flat. Read the first book and decided that I didn't care to continue the series. I would say great for 12-14 yo, unless you just want general adventure and very little to do with romantic interest.

The White Hart Series

I just finished this boxed set and I loved it. The characters were very easy to get behind and the story was exciting. I did not want it to end.

[Jill Berge]

Reads like the first series of an author still learning to pace out a narrative.

[Susan Henry]

Wanting more

I got so invested in the characters, that I cried at a tragic end, I wanted the story to continue ..

[Cindy]

Recommend

This story is filled with adventure, magic and action. We follow Mae on her journey and feel her joy, pain, losses and gains..

[Carrie K Hayes]

Wonderful!

Superbly written! I couldn't stop reading! I let the housework go while I read the entire series!
Laughter, tears and fears from beginning to end!

[Deborah K. Carson]

[Barb Walton]

[Sonia Santos]

[Sharon - Anne Street]

[Darla]

[Donna]

These three books are the best series I've read in a long time. You would not expect Mae, the urchin, to experience such trials and tribulations. Mae has to battle not only herself but others intent on using her craft for evil intent. The poor child suffers almost constantly but also experiences intense love, loyalty and friendship. She must make an ultimate sacrifice to bring prosperity and peace to her land.

I wouldn't mind if there were more stories about her in the future. She is a worthy heroine. There really should be more written. She's only 16 years old. I can't believe she won't find love again in her lifetime. Is there a coronation? Does the current aristocracy accept her? Will she retrieve the former queen's body for proper burial? What happened to the former queen's servant that said she'd stay with her in the tunnel? I'm curious about Mae's child and her upbringing.

So many questions. I do hope Ms. Dalton continues with this story.

[Lindsey Berbridge]

Rather childishly written and very predictable. Didn't endear to any of the characters

[Julie Powell]

A fabulous series, which hooked me from beginning to end.

This fantasy is filled with adventure, magic, action (and so much more) and runs a gamut of emotions - I loved it.

Mae is a strong female character and we follow her arduous journey; feel her pain and joy, losses and gains.

I don't give spoilers but will say that this is storytelling at its best.

Highly recommended.

The White Hart Series: Completer Boxed Set

The three books of the White Hart Series. Book 1: the story of the beginning of Cas and Mae. The 2nd Book: changing the Nix and finding love. 3nd book: war and lost. Great come of age fantasy. If you have a teen great summer read.
