Will Ari Ara risk everything
- the crown, love, even her life - for what she believes?
Everyone has a secret.
At long last, fifteen-year-old Ari Ara is returning from exile to take up her duties as royal heir.
Nervous and excited, she leaps into the heart-pounding tests that will prove she's worthy of the throne. But hidden dangers lurk beneath the rituals of the Ordeal of Queens. Ancestor spirits haunt her. Nightmares plague her. Not everyone wants a follower of the Way Between as the next ruler. Surrounded by warriors and war culture, Ari Ara's commitment to peace threatens her chances of wearing the crown. A hard choice lies before her: will she stay true to what she believes? Or will she stay silent so that she can become queen?
Through triumph and disaster, heartbreak and friendship, Ari Ara rises to the challenges with courage. But then a long-buried secret comes to light ... and the true cost of peace is revealed.
