      Princess Raisa ana' Marianna has returned from fostering for three years with the clans in the spirit mountains, and is already tired of life at court. She aspires to be the queen that helps the people in their mountain city, Fellsmarch, capitol of the Fells. Raisa, looking for adventure and trying to get to know the real city she lives in, which certainly isn't all parties and lessons, runs into some trouble while out in the city in disguise.
      Han Alister, still known by his former street name Cuffs, struggles to support his mother and sister in the city. The silver cuffs around his wrist are the only things he owns that are valuable; they clearly have magic in them, because he has had them since birth, yet they grow to always fit him. However many times he tries, they are also impossible to remove.
      Cinda Williams Chima weaves an amazing tale about two people and their own struggles. Set in a world with wizards, danger, and looming wars, she creates characters that are refreshingly real. I loved this book; the series is definitely on my list of all-time favorites. Read it!!!
