Princess and heir to the throne of Thorvaldor, Nalia's led a privileged life at court. But everything changes when it's revealed, just after her sixteenth birthday, that she is a false princess, a stand-in for the real Nalia, who has been hidden away for her protection. Cast out with little more than the clothes on her back, the girl now called Sinda must leave behind the city of Vivaskari, her best friend, Keirnan, and the only life she's ever known.
Sinda is sent to live with her only surviving relative, an aunt who is a dyer in a distant village. She is a cold, scornful woman with little patience for her newfound niece, and Sinda proves inept at even the simplest tasks. But when Sinda discovers that magic runs through her veins - long-suppressed, dangerous magic that she must learn to control - she realizes that she can never learn to be a simple village girl.
Returning to Vivaskari for answers, Sinda finds her purpose as a wizard scribe, rediscovers the boy who saw her all along, and uncovers a secret that could change the course of Thorvaldor's history, forever.

Review:
I found this book in goodreads and i saw that it had a lot of god reviews, so i decided to read it. It was a fast read for me, just because the ending of each chapter kept wanting to read more. It has magic, romance, mystery and a fairy tale feel to it.
I really liked Sinda's character best because of the way she handles things that come to her way.
The first 100 pages was thrilling and exciting, but it got a little slow in the middle. But the author really wrapped the ending nicely! I give it a 4 stars.
