This is a very unique story.  I love how three children were chosen from their homeland to be adopted by their conquering foes to be raised as their own as a peace offering.  Lianne, Kellan  & Bryden adopted by different residents of Fithia.Kellan learned combat skills from his adoptive father, Aric, who also trained the palace army. Bryden injured at age five and left him with a limp, was book smart and had done bookkeeping for the residents of Fithia.  Lianne, was a servant girl to the Queen, Mags, and helped to take care of Mags and her newborn son, Trevin.Although, you don't get to know Kellan and Bryden as much as you would like, you do discover that Lianne has a heart and you're torn along with her when she discovers her secretive best friend, the Queen will be executed for her infidelity.This book has several twists and turns which keep your interests going till the end, although some I may have seen coming, others I certainly did not.This is the first book I have read from Megg Jensen and it certainly will not be the last!
