About
the Book
Since
the blood of her great-great-grandmother, Dolvoka, had sprung up in Princess
Avielle—because she looked Dredonian—would Dolvoka’s evil
magic spring up in her, too?
With her silver skin and
silver hair, fifteen-year-old Princess Avielle of Rhia resembles her Dredonian
great-great grandmother who practiced evil magic. Everyone in Rhia expects
Avielle to turn evil, too. Shunned by those around her, she feels unloved and
unable to love others. In addition, Rhia is on the verge of war with Dredonia,
which suffers under the rule of evil wizard-priests: the Brethren of the Black
Cloaks. They have placed impossible demands upon Rhia, but the king and queen
have refused to acquiesce.
One terrible night, the Brethren attack,
killing the royal family and hundreds of others. Only Avielle escapes. She must
keep her identity secret to avoid death from the enemy. While hiding among the
common people, she learns that she has a magical gift for weaving. But will this
gift, rooted in her Dredonian blood, lead Avielle to the same evil that
possessed her great-great grandmother? Or will it help her free her people from
further attacks?
