A defeated kingdom, a fugitive princess and a brave warrior determined to find her. This is an epic tale of magic, mystery and courage set in ancient India.
I have never read anything set in ancient India before and this book was a great first. I enjoyed all the attention to detail that helped me understand something of the culture of the time. Satya/Amodini is a brave woman who isn’t afraid to go the extra mile in pursuit of her dream to be a physician and who will risk anything for her patients – I love her. I loved her two protectors too, they are such a darling couple. The backdrop of political intrigue combined with the fact that no one has figured out Satya’s secret was exciting and I am definitely curious to see what happens next.
I would have liked to see a little more of Satya's everyday life before she met General Veerata and a little more about her family's history (but maybe that will come in book two!). All in all, a quick fun read that leaves you eager for the rest!
