Sixteen-year-old Sinda thinks being a princess is all she's ever known until she learns that she was switched at birth to avoid a dire prophecy. As the story evolves, she discovers that there are two false princesses and that she has magic powers that would help her country if only she could get them under control. Mystery and intrigue, magic and romance follow as a confused Sinda struggles to find her place in the world. Mandy Williams spirits listeners through the imaginative story with a credible portrayal of Sinda's hopes and frustrations and the perfect fairy-tale voice for making vivid Sinda's enchanted world.

Just after her 16th birthday, the princess of Thorvaldor finds out she is no princess at all, but a peasant girl named Sinda Azaway, switched at birth with the real princess after a prophesy predicted the royal's death; Sinda has ceased to be useful to the king and queen now that the fated birthday of their real daughter has passed. Readers will feel for Sinda, who's immediately exiled from palace life, sent to live with an unknown aunt, and burdened with having lived a lie. Debut novelist O'Neal deftly draws a protagonist to root for as Sinda forges a new identity, comes into her own as a talented wizard, and discovers further royal intrigue. Sinda's sadness and anger feel righteous, never grating, and O'Neal quickly buoys Sinda's new life with her best friend from the palace, Kiernan, who proves his loyalty, and a wonderful teacher in the eccentric Philantha, who takes Sinda in as a wizard's apprentice. Fans of Shannon Hale will enjoy this compelling fantasy, which is filled with magic, political drama, and romance. Ages 10–up.
