Gellia has escaped the backwater kingdom of her birth and is out in the great wide world. She's finally traveling to the land of her forefathers, excited to see what the future holds. But her bond horse is perpetually exasperated, her benefactor's moods are constantly changing, her new compatriots are plotting against her, and she keeps getting sent on missions she's sure she's not qualified for. To top it off, Cassius wants her to attend a huge political event to meet ally and enemy alike, and it's in the guise of a ball. How will she survive all this?
MacRae's mind is filled with vivid imagination. With 25 plus years of invisible friends and imaginary worlds, prepare for the journey of a lifetime. Tales of self-discovery, magic, intrigue, and adventure. She writes with passion for the written word, research, and characters who have minds of their own.
You can find MacRae in the snowbelt, at conventions, and riding magnificent horses through Avenzyre.
Intrigue, battles, magic, what other trouble can Gellia get herself into? I'm this one you get to see just how much more complicated life can be as she learns how to navigate the empire. Also, Cassius proves to be as cunning as I'd hoped. Very entertaining read. Well developed characters and universe, and the writing is excellent. Looking forward to book 3
