Description

In this “magical” (Library Journal) tale from #1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey, a stolen princess discovers her true destiny—in royal duty and in love.

On the eve of her debut into London society, Alana Farmer learns the shocking secret of her birthright. Can it be true? Is she really the lost princess of the European kingdom of Lubinia? Returning to the homeland she and her guardian fled when she was an infant to escape Napoleon’s rampaging army, Alana attempts to quell a bloody revolt in this isolated, mountainous country whose customs strike her as medieval! Suspicious that this beautiful newcomer is a wily imposter or a spy scheming to depose the king, Christoph Becker, the captain of the palace guards, arrests Alana and vows to draw the truth from his alluring prisoner, even if he must lay his life on the line to protect her from harm. Now, as a fiery passion flares between Alana and the man who has wrongly imprisoned her, the fate of a nation rests in their hands and on their hearts.

    Slow start which completely made the book even better once you get to the true plot of the story. I absolutely love how all her stories take you back to a distant time, place, and culture. She didn't disappoint. Great read mixed in with her standard boy saves girl/girl saves boy love story.
  • Great read

    I have read every book Johanna Lindsey has written, (that I can find), all of them at least twice. This book, I have read at least seven or eight. No one needs pictures with a book by Johanna Lindsey! She creates in the mind's eye the perfect settings . I have often felt as if I were watching a movie instead of reading when I have one of her books in my hands. Thank you Johanna for sharing your talent with words with your readers,

    It had been some time sine I had had time to read a book again, let alone Johanna Lindsey. This book locked me back into her wonderful stories, that wrap you so deeply in the story that you become a character in the story.
  • Must read!

    This book was not up to Johanna's standards. The plot was sluggish, the characters undeveloped, and I found myself just waiting for the book to end so I could get on to my next. I have every book that Johanna has written, but if this is the direction she's heading I may hesitate to buy more.

    As with so many of Johanna Lindsay books I sped through the book because i couldnt put it down, only to find myself, when finished, wishing i could read more; and not wanting my time with these wonderful characters to end. I hope she will revisit these families in futher books, as i want to know more of young Henry, and what becomes of Poppy, and who will capture the heart of that delicious Karsten? Most of all I would like to read of the children who most surely will follow that lovely wedding.
