Publisher Description
As a princess in the impoverished kingdom of Delantria, it's Aldari's job to look pretty, speak little, and marry a prince.
Studying mathematics and writing papers on economic theory in an effort to fix her people's financial woes? Her father has forbidden it. With war on the horizon, they must focus on the immediate threat.
Reluctantly, Aldari agrees to marry a prince in a neighboring kingdom to secure an alliance her people desperately need. All is going to plan until the handsome elven mercenary captain hired to guard her marriage caravan turns into her kidnapper. His people are in trouble, and he believes she has the knowledge to help.
But with an invasion force approaching Delantria, Aldari's own people need her. She must do everything in her power to escape the elves and make it to her wedding in time.
Never mind that her kidnapper is witty, clever, and offers her a challenge that intrigues her mind even as his easy smile intrigues her heart…
Aldari can't let herself develop feelings for him. To fall in love and walk away from her wedding would mean the end of her kingdom and everyone she cares about.

Brilliant
I have not read from this author before and this book was truly brilliant. I am not a frequent fantasy reader but I was captivated by the story and could not wait to read every morsel. My heart was beating so fast in some parts, I felt like I was there on the page and in my minds eye. It was PG, which as an adult can sometimes lower the standard of a book (maybe I mean like not give as much?), however this author built the story and characters so well it wasn’t detrimental. Such incredibly descriptive and engulfing writing. It was an appropriately length, where I wasn’t consumed for days trying to gobble it up literaturely. It had so much depth, dialogue and imagination. I loved it and wish I could read it again for the first time.
