In a land governed by queens, there's a princess, our main character Anna Sophia, who is one of the high queens' daughters. Our story starts gaining pace when Sophie's sister is murdered, when she's only six, and she has to leave her family to make sure her safety is insured.

One thing that I found very interesting in this book is the rule that must be followed in the land, and that is that, magic can never be used to do bad, but always to help, the outcome must always have more benefits towards the good.

She must hide for fourteen years from prince Mortrano and those who wish nothing but bad things for her, from those who want her to never become the queen her legacy compels her to be. So from now on she has to hide everything that makes her who she is with magix.

The question that rises as the books goes on is if she will be able to be strong enough to survive.

I think that the book is a strong 3 out of 5 because I felt like it was a little bit dragged in the middle and at first I felt like it was kinda difficult to enter the world of the book. And even though it's a very small story I really had to force myself to be able to focus on the story and not disperse sometimes. I think that if it would have been a little bit longer, with more world bulding, explanations and character development it would have been much better, maybe even a 4.

I also think that I didn't connect to the book because I couldn't really find anything that I had in common with the main character, there was really nothing I could relate to even though I did like her story and the way she tried to handle the things that were going on.

Overall I recommend this book to teens fantasy lovers who want to read something fast and not very hard to understand.
