When I first read this book I was expecting a something quite different. Though Sci-fi/post apocalyptic books aren't normally the types of books I read I gave this one a chance because of the description.  This book is amazing. It has romance, albeit not your typical kind, magic and adventure. It is set 5000 or so years after the end of the world. Mankind has developed 1 of three different types of powers. It has a bit of historical feel to it and also a fantasy feel to it.The prologue and first couple of chapters were hard to get into as it was a bit of a slow start with a lot of  back ground story. It is set in first person, which probably made it harder for me to get into and start to follow since I don't normally read first person books.Vivienne is a princess who has always felt alone because of the dreams she encounters and the fact that her eyes aren't the just one color but change from purple to grey. The one person she feels closest to is Devon who is her princess guard. They are bound to each other due to a curse/spell put on them at the time of Vivi's birth. They have difficulty being separated but have to accept that it is to be because Vivi has to attend training for seven years in order to fulfill her duties to become queen.The real meat of the story doesn't begin until the middle of the book because of the background that has to be filled in. Though after about the second chapter you start to be enthralled by the story Nancy is spinning. You want to know what is going to happen next.The writing style is really good and the character development and plot move along nicely but not to slowly or too fast as some authors are want to do, You want to keep turning the page to see what they say or do next and why things are the way they are and have to be. You are left with questions at the end of each chapter that make you want to read the next one.The book ends on a cliffhanger so you will want to get the next one. I will be reading the next one in the series as I believe I have found my next epic style novel series.This book has a little something of everything making it an ideal book for readers of all kinds.
