Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alex uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alex, who is virtually unbeatable, can't prevent him from abducting her, her fellow guard and friend Rylan, and Prince Damian, taking them through the treacherous wilds of the jungle and deep into enemy territory.The longer Alex is held captive with both Rylan and the prince, the more she realizes that she is not the only one who has been keeping dangerous secrets.

With hidden foes lurking around every corner, is Alex strong enough to save herself and the kingdom she's sworn to protect?
I really loved this whole series! It kept my attention the whole way through the trilogy. I loved the main character and the magical features of the plot line as well.
Great series!

Going into this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. It had small elements similar to Mulan (fav Disney movie)
The entire series was/is my favorite of Sarah Larson. If you want a nice relaxing read, I highly recommend it!
