Lady Lilah may only be 12, but she wants more than the
palace walls surrounding her. When
she sneaks out one night to see how the people in town live, she finds way more
than she ever bargained for. The
whole country is ripe for rebellion, and her own brother may be one of the
major plotters. But their Uncle
the King will do whatever he has to in order to remain in power, even if that
means destroy his niece and nephew and the entire country along with them.
Interesting that there are two majors
books for children that deal with revolution – this title and Shannon Hale’s
newest. There is a touch of magic
to help the outnumbered rebels.
