For 17 years, Layla had lived in the kingdom of Vanguard with her parents and two step-brothers. Compared to the people of Vanguard, she was different with long black hair and striking purple eyes. Against the wishes of her family, she insisted on attending a celebration in her village. She could just taste the treat she hoped to find there.. the special sweet baked rolls only made twice a year.This year, though, her life took a dramatic turn there as she was whisked away to fulfill a Prophecy. She was to marry the Prince in a neighboring kingdom - one which had been at war against her people for ages. As bad as that is, she has no idea what twists and turns she will face ...Wow! What a ride this story was! I loved the story and the characters were vividly portrayed. I loved the chemistry between Layla and Nash... and Will too - though I was firmly in Team Nash. One warning: I hate cliffhanger endings and this one certainly has one. Now... when is the next book coming out?Very good debut read!!!!4 Stars!!!!
