I still had questions, "But why am I so special? Why am I wanted?" "You don't need to know that," Alex said. Do they really expect me to leave with them without knowing why? They must be really stupid if they think they are taking me anywhere with telling me everything. I deserve to know why I'm needed, they have no right to keep that information from me. I was getting mad. I have a really short temper. I could feel the air around me getting hot, and I knew they could feel it too. "Either tell me why I'm needed or I'm not going anywhere." Alex looked like he was about to object, but lucky for him, Justin had enough sense to answer my question, "You are the daughter of Queen Amelia and King Cornelius. You are a princess. You have the powers of our leaders combined. You're the most powerful person on Earth." Princess? I am no princess. Just the other day I was getting bullied. Most powerful person on Earth? Hilarious. I know I have powers, but there if there is other people like me that must be more powerful than me. "Me? Princess? Are you high? I'm obviously not a princess. My mother is human. I was born on Earth." "You were born during the war, the king knew you would be a target of the humans, if they found out you were born. So being the good father he is, he gave you to a human he trusted, he knew she would raise you as her own. That woman is who you know as your mother." Justin answered. My life is a lie. I am not who I think I am. People are not who I thought they were. I can't believe this. I thought only things like this happened in stories. "Fiera, who do you choose? The queen or the king?" Alex asked. They were both looking at me expectantly. The queen wanted peace and not to start a war. The king wanted to show the humans that we were not bad but they wouldn't listen. They deserve what the king wanted. The king saved my life. I looked up, "I know who I've chosen."

The action flows like a brisk mountain stream interspersed with rapids, holding suspense to last page."- Kirkus Review ======================= Grace has lived in the Smoky Mountains all her life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival. When her dad goes missing on a routine patrol, Grace refuses to believe he's dead and fights the town authorities, tribal officials, and nature to find him. One day, while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent and a secret. As her feelings between him and her ex-boyfriend get muddled, Grace travels deep into the wilderness to escape and find her father. Along the way, Grace learns terrible secrets that sever relationships and lives. Soon she's enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it's going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to save everything she loves.
