About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teen is struggling with sibling conflict or navigating a family dynamic where every member seems to have a competing agenda. It is a powerful tool for discussing how personal secrets and past hurts can prevent family members from working toward a common goal. The story follows four estranged royal siblings in an Indian-inspired world who must overcome their deep-seated mistrust to find a legendary source of magic and save their kingdom from ruin. While the stakes are epic, the heart of the story is the fragile, often messy process of rebuilding a family bond. This high fantasy novel is appropriate for ages fourteen and up, offering a sophisticated exploration of political duty, moral ambiguity, and the heavy weight of parental legacy.
