Isabel is the Shifter. She can change form and substance to perform her one and only charge: protect the Royal Family at all costs. Decades ago, she failed. The king was overthrown and his family killed, and Isabel fled to Mistwood. Now, the deposer's son has found her and brought her back, because he knows of a plot against him. But will the Shifter protect a pretender to the throne? Isabel remembers nothing of the coup, nothing of her time in Mistwood ... and nothing of how to shift her shape. Legend has it that the Shifter is calculating and unemotional, but Isabel struggles with her growing feelings for the prince. They go beyond simple loyalty. In the intricate dance of court intrigues - both political and magical -- Isabel must uncover not only what happened in her past, but also what now threatens the king. And she will face a choice that threatens her loyalty, her safety, and her heart.
Leah Cypess expertly weaves together romance, sorcery, and danger into an extraordinary debut novel with a surprising, heartbreaking conclusion that no one will see coming - or be able to forget.
