A captivating book. Once I started it, I could not put it down. Not your typical princess story. Melkorka is an Irish Princess who is kidnapped by slave traders and sold into slavery. It is told from her point of view. You see and feel what she does - her fear, her wonderment, her strength. We see a change in her from the beginning of the book in which she is a spoiled little rich girl to the woman she becomes at the end. She never thought much about the slaves in her kingdom, until she becomes one in another. This book is powerful in a way that keeps you thinking about it, long after you finish it. I finished this book a couple of weeks ago - I am still thinking about it and processing it. I highly recommend it.
