Overview: This book was beautiful and amazing and I loved it soooo much! It was fast paced and suspenseful, and I could barely put it down! Kids ages 13 and up will love it! Some violence and death and such, and reading level is kind of high.

What’s it about? Princess Jennesara knows that she’d be of much better use to her kingdom as a warrior, but her father has different plans. The King of Halendi promises Jenna to the prince of a neighboring kingdom, but on her way there, her traveling caravan is attacked and most of her traveling companions are killed. With nowhere else to go, Jenna completes her journey and finds herself employed as a guard under the very prince she is betrothed to. After discovering that an approaching threat to her kingdom and family is more dangerous than she thought, Jenna has to figure out how to stop it all by herself.

My thoughts: I loved this book so much! The plot was fast-paced and action packed, and the main character is super awesome. At first I thought this was going to be one of those cliché tough princess stories, but this was totally original. I mean, Jenna gets a job as a bodyguard for another princess and is totally integrated into the royal family after a few weeks. The funniest part is, that family is that of her betrothed, and they don’t know who she really is! The characters were amazing, and the story was so creative and wonderful!
