Newly appointed to the office of Prime, Mance, a young woman, finds herself in a difficult dilemma. Mance is in love with Silver. Yet as the new Prime of her realm, she is destined to marry the Prime of the Forrest Realm, Reltas, in order to maintain an alliance. Reltas is everything Mance hates: self-centered, unkind, power-driven, and demanding. Why should Mance have to trade her true love just to maintain peace? If Mance wants to avoid a fight that will devastate her realm, she’ll have to consider the proposal. She desperately seeks allyship from other Primes with little to no avail. With her secret ability to physically split into separate versions of herself, she sets off to not only refuse Reltas's proposal but to bring peace and healing to her realm as well as the rest of the world.
The opening includes a great summary of the 1st book. This could be a stand-alone novel. The plot is interesting and suspenseful. I loved that the novel is shorter and the author didn't feel the need to add fluff and stuff just to make it long. There were a lot of emotional themes running through this 2nd book such as taking your power back, helping to pull other people out of their darkness, making life easier for other's, enjoying laughter after tragedy, and finally that we can and are strong enough to overcome difficulties especially with healing and love. Great book for teens and adults alike!
