The story is about a your girl that has special powers. She is raised somewhat isolated because of what she is. Her mother dies and after a while she gets sent to an academy to learn how to use her powers. There she befriends a boy and ends up being friends with the boy and his friends, who happen to be the prince and princess. They seem to like her and declare that she is now one of them. Her dad is gone all the time because of his job as a kings assassin. So she ends up,spending all sorts of time with her new friends at the castle. What I didn't like - they declared her to be their friend, but there were times they treated her more like a pet. There were a couple of parties, the first one was her birthday when she would have come into her powers and something bad happens to her. When she wakes up she finds out that a couple of hours after she left the party, the boy that showed some interest in her went off and "sealed the deal" (yes those were the words) with a girl that had been after him for a while. When she later asks him why, his reply is that she had a simple mind and it was easy for him to be with her... I guess he didn't really like our leading lady after all, I had assumed it had been due to grief. Next time there is a party, again she is with the two boys, they spend time with her, and even though they see she is drunk, they leave her a the party while they go off with girls. There is a scene after they leave her where some man follows her and it alludes that something bad happened. We later find out that she was raped. This is the main reason in gave it 1 star. I don't like to read about rape for entertainment, particularly when it could have been avoided in the story.The main plot was mildly interesting, would have given it a higher rating had it not been for that. As far a romance, the romance plot was non existent. I should have passed on this one. Not very entertaining for me.
