After the brutal murder of her father, Princess Irewen must flee her kingdom or face death by the hands of her cousin. She ends up in the forest of Mistwood and is found my her cousin's troops. Left for dead, she is rescued by the elf prince Laegon and is taken to his people. While in Laegon's kingdom Irewen discovers a much bigger problem that threatens everyone. She begins to discover that she might have the power inside of her to stop it.The concept of this book really drew me in. Even though it is YA there are adult themes that make it readable for older people. Irewen has the beginnings of a great character, but I think she needs a little bit more to make her a person I really enjoy.I wish that the execution of the story would have been better. Irewen and Laegon have just met, and they're already in love? I get that it's a YA novel but this was very sudden. At times the plot seemed to drag.*I received a copy of this book in exchange for review through NetGalley*
