This is the first book of the chronicals of Celeste and Ziah. When the Witch Queen Amara is murdered, Princess Celeste and her best friend Ziah are on the hunt for the killer. Ziah had experienced a similar situation 3 years ago when her own mother, the Witch Queens advisor and closest friend Lily, was murdered and knew that somehow the two murders were tied together. Little did they know that the killer was closer to them then they could have ever imagined. As Celeste and Ziah are on the verge of finding the killer they find out the truth behind the Witch Queens and Ziah's mothers deaths. With a new twist in their plans, Celeste and Ziah must find the killer and bring justice to their families. Will they succeed in finding the killer?

Everyone is hiding from something; a secret, a lie. Mine just happens to be a curse, one bestowed upon me before my first birthday; a curse that says I'm supposed to die before I turn sixteen. But that isn't going to happen, because I have a plan. You see, it's impossible to prick your finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel if you're locked in a cell.
