An orphaned princess, Evony lives with the royal family from a kingdom threatened by witches. Her own kingdom was destroyed by them. Evony has a special ability that Prince Ammon is drawn to, which helps her sense when familiars (servants to witches) are approaching the kingdom. Evony is attracted to the prince and wishes he was drawn to more than just her abilities. One day as they are outside the safety of the kingdom, Ammon is taken captive by the witch, Aradia who literally steals his heart and leaves his body to turn into one of her familiars. Evony sets off find Ammon’s heart and to rescue his sister, who has been captured by witches. 

As the first in a trilogy, this will definitely hook you in. The storyline is original and Evony is a strong character I found myself rooting for. The art is stylish and adds just the right touch of creepiness that makes the book even more intriguing. I will definitely read the next two books.
