When Rowan, the emperor’s youngest daughter, discovers a magical plot to kill her father, she must overcome her fear of magic to save him. “An appealing work, lightly touched with genuine period detail but focusing more on a prickly preadolescent not-quite-friendship, family ties, and a girl’s reluctant awakening to magic.”–LOCUS
