Harry is not entirely happy living with her aunt and uncle because she doesn't feel that she belongs in this place, in this time, and with this family. A visit from a stranger changes that when she is later kidnapped. What is it about Harry that appeals to Corlath, king of the Hillfolk, who had visited her uncle hoping to create an alliance against an impending foe and the war ahead? He's not quite certain but knows that her destiny is linked with that of his people.

As life changes for Harry, she learns to live with the Hillfolk, finding it strangely satisfying. I liked this character very much. She is independent, strong, and thinks for herself as she gains the respect of those who teach her the ways of the Hillfolk. War comes and Harry, her brother, along with others who love her believe in her do make a difference. What that difference is remains to the next reader to discover. The story is simple, easy to read and most entertaining. Of course, I am a Robin McKinley fan which prompts me to pick up her work. Good read!
