This book was just awesome.  I loved the characters, the action, the plot, just everything.  This is the type of book I LOVE to read with a mixture of witty dialogue, misunderstandings, action and adventure and most importantly, romance.Lily's brother has been missing for four years when he shows up and tries to kill her on her 18th birthday.  The strangers Tharin and Tolan save Lily from death and convince her to travel with them to the land of Velesi.  Lily wants to find her brother and help him, so she agrees to go along as long as her best friend Julia comes.  Tharin and Lily were betrothed to each other as children, but Tharin is in love with Kalis and Lily has no intention of marrying a man she doesn't know or love.  But anything can happen while running for your lives for days, trying to get to Velesi when your brother and his ninja warriors are after you.I loved the way this book alternated between Lily and Tharin's narrative which gave us an insight into how each one was feeling about the other and to what was going on.  Tharin and his twin brother Tolan are so different and both are drool-worthy.  Lily is kind, young and inexperienced and it is so cute to see her confused over her feelings for Tharin.  Her best friend Julia is aggressive and strong on the outside and wounded and sad on the inside.  Her relationship with Tolan is perfect.This is a clean YA book (finally) that is wonderful.  I highly recommend it and am impatiently waiting for the next in this series.  I don't know who L. Filloon is, but she/he better hurry up!Would I/Did I buy it? Yes (.99)Would I read it again?  YesWould I recommend it to friends? Yes
