This book is set in a world where there is magic but it is still a story about relationships that the author is known for. Finnikin has not been home in 10 years ever since the dark days when the royal family was murdered and the kingdom put under a terrible curse. But then he meets Evanjalin a young women with a gift of magic who claims that the prince is still alive. Will the the curse be lifted from the land and will Finnikin be reunited with his family and the exiled slaves of his people of Lumatere? Or is Evanjalin hiding a terrible secret that will test Finnikin's faith in her but in himself?
