When Princess Liliana and her twin sister set sail for new lands, Lily hopes to find adventure and romance. But the people of Marin live under the shadow of a curse-one powerful enough to destroy entire kingdoms. To protect them all, Lily and 11 other princesses are forced to participate in a mysterious and secret tournament.

Lily spends her nights competing in a magical underground realm and her days unraveling the dangers of this new court. Although she needs the help of the Marinese prince, Lily knows she can't let herself grow too close to him. There's no time for romance when the duchy is about to fall to the encroaching darkness and the winner of the tournament faces a terrible fate.

But Lily and her twin have a secret advantage. And Lily grows increasingly determined to use their magical bond to defeat the tournament, save the princesses, and free Marin. Except she might have to sacrifice true love to do it.

I couldn't give this story 5 stars because it is not the great literature that Lord of the Rings.Or others in that line, that doesn't mean that I did not totally enjoy. It.

I totally loved this story. It retold all the stories. I loved from my youth in a completely new way. And I look forward to the rest of this series. The things of the stories maybe very old.
But these are a very new and different retailing. So now I have very old stories that I loved as a child and totally news stories that delight me. As an older woman, i want to thank the author with my whole heart for giving me something new to cherish and and to gift my grandchildren and great grandchildren with

A complete delight

The narrator does a great job. Her voice has a slight British accent, so in some ways the world felt like a medieval fairy tale meets Regency England, but that didn't detract from the story at all. If anything, it made all the politics and economics feel even more real.

My only disappointment is that this author only has this book and the second one on Audible. I would happily listen to them all!

A Great Fairy Tale Retelling

Loved the sweet magical story and the romance that developed. The narrator unfortunately is not very good. The male voices she does I thought were terrible and without much feeling, they are very stiff. I did not like the voice she uses for Lily either.

Narration Disappointing

I loved this story. It is full of adventure, magic, and a little bit of romance. It is a clean story and there are no foul language. I also think the narrator Esther Wane did a wonderful job narrating this and she really brought you into the story! I can’t wait to read the next one.

Wonderful story!
