The king's magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders, no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate, and only one servant has ever left. The haunted look in her eyes as she was recaptured by the palace guards is something Josie, daughter of the village doctor, has never forgotten. For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself. Whispers of magic fuel Josie's desire to uncover the truth, but an ordinary girl like her can only dream of ever being invited inside.

I have a hard time with this series - too much talking and too little action. And the chemistry between the main characters is not strong enough to be compelling. It took me three days to finish the last half hour; it just didn’t hold my interest.

I love this series! The pot thickens as the people from the castle try to discover what is next now the king is dead. Dane and Josie continue to keep their feelings under wraps as they search to find his memories and those of their friends. Waiting for the next book will be agonizing.
