In order to defeat the sorceress Magdalina, and free herself from her curse, Rose, the Princess of Rhone, has set out to find dragonâs blood. As she travels toward the Romani territory, where the Serpentâs Garden resides, she is accompanied by her faithful group of friends, including their newest member, Prince Philip of Einish.
But when the group ends up shipwrecked on the small island of Maltia, they find themselves trapped without supplies and a way off the island. With time, money, and new enemies working against them, Rose remains determined despite her despair to rise to each challenge. But can she face the growing fearâand longingâinside herself?
From the book:
âYou want to be free,â Theo told her. âBut you donât even allow yourself to dream of it, even with small things, like singing a song.â
A new wave of anger, both at him and at herself, washed over her. âIf I am free, I am free to refuse,â she muttered.
âItâs not a matter of freedom, but fear.â
âI am not afraid!â
âArenât you?â Theo asked quietly.
âNo.â
Rose waited to hear Theo argue with her. But he said nothing.
