Anna is clearly different from others. With obvious physical differences and powerful abilities, she's never quite fit in...anywhere. Having no knowledge of her parents, she sets out to discover her true origin. On the run for most of her life, she's become a master at eluding capture, even a little cocky, you might say. When a sticky situation forces her hand, she hitches a ride with a wizard, who whisks her away to another world where, according to him, she'd been exiled from as a child. This new magical place seems oddly familiar as Anna discovers powerful enemies and treasured allies on her quest for answers. The dangerous journey thrust her headlong into the arms of Kriston, who finds himself caught between sworn-duty and insatiable curiosity.

Narration was great and brought the story to life.
The story starts on earth but most of it takes place in a magical world called Genoa. Anna doesn’t remember where she comes from but soon after she gets in Genoa she learns about her family and her past.
Kriston follows orders from his brother which is a king. He is tasked with capturing and bringing the “spy” to his brother.
There are a lot of characters to keep up with and the story goes back and forth between the two main characters. It definitely required my full attention to understand everything that was going on.
There are unexpected twists and turns and the story is interesting and captivating with wizards, dragons, trolls, kings, etc...

Thus begins this novel, which is an amazing story; I absolutely loved the world-building. It was done in such a way that the information was provided when it was needed without seeming like an infodump. The characters are also well-written and, aside from Anna as the main character, I think my favorite so far is Shiara.
If you like epic stories with magic, political intrigue, royal families, long-lost princesses, and purple horses, then you should pick up this book to read. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm definitely looking forward to reading book 2.
For this book, I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Marnye Young. Young gave a great performance and is one of the few narrators I have found with solid pacing that I don't have to speed up. The only issue I had with the narration is that there were no pauses within the chapters to indicate a change of POV when they occurred. It was rather jarring at first, and I found myself having to rewind and bit and relisten in order to catch on to the fact that the POV had changed and we were now with different characters. I'm not sure if that's a narrator issue or a producer issue, but it does make listening a little more difficult. Still, Marnye did a wonderful job with everything else that, given the chance, I would listen to book 2 as well.
Wonderful story with amazing world building

There are two negatives that I would give this book:
First, I wish it hadn't ended in a cliffhanger. I really hate that.. (I know I'm just complaining...)
Second, I actually liked the first parts of the book that took place in modern-day earth. I actually wish that this book (or another book) could have continued along this line...
I thought the narrator also did a very good job with this title. I'd like to hear her again in future books.
I requested and received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher, or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work.
Good book. Decent Story.
