This author has done it again. This is a definite winner. In this book, #6 in the series,  we find the Dragon King's daughter Mairead is now queen. After her mother's passing she is thrust into that role. She has advisors until she is old enough.  A young prince comes visiting in hopes of uniting their kingdoms.  The council is unsure of his intentions.  In the spirit of peace they invite him.  Mairead is an excellent host. She finds herself falling for the young charismatic Prince. But not everything is as it seems. How do you trust someone you don't really know? How do you please the people who have always had your back and helped raise you?  How do you trust them when they don't trust the one you love?  Mairead wants to please them all. When she begins to experience magic, Lugh refuses to train her. The Prince steps in and offers as he too has magic. Her father figure does not trust the Prince and puts additional people to watch after her. Then she makes contact with her father, the Dragon King. Will he be the answer to these questions of trust or will he forbid the relationship?  Will he stay with Mairead, or will he go? You must read this book to find out. This series always has me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait for the next one to come out. I have been recommending this series to my students because when it comes to the fantasy genre, Kandi Wyatt is at the top of the list.
