When her mother, the queen, is attacked by an unnatural beast, Alexandra tries every one of her healing skills, but her greatest effort is not enough. Too soon Alexandra's father, the king, is spellbound by a beautiful stranger-a woman intent on having the kingdom to herself. In a terrifying moment, all Alexandra knows disappears, including her beloved brothers, and she is suddenly banished to a barren land unlike her own. But Alexandra has more gifts than even she realizes, and she'll need to master all of them as she is confronted with magic, murder, and the strongest of evil forces.
