Product Description

Princess Taoshira of the Blue Crescent Islands is appalled when she is ordered to marry Prince Ramil of Gerfal in order to unite their lands. And he's not too pleased, either. They hate each other on sight. So, when Tashi and Ramil are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape - from their kidnappers or from each other. Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing, and imprisonment? And will the people they meet on their adventure help them or betray them to the enemy?

Review
A long and satisfying read . . . There is much here about personal integrity, the sublimation of the self for the good of the community, and the need for respect and understanding of other cultures. --Books for Keeps (UK)

An exciting, fast-paced read which should appeal to both girls and boys. --The Children's Bookseller (UK)

Left me wanting to read everything else Golding has written, and everything she ever will write. --TheBookbag.co.uk
