The king had imprisoned a young man, a mere commoner in his court, in his castle dungeon because of the man's relationship with his daughter, the princess. Now the king is forcing the young man to make a choice that will separate him from the beautiful princess, and alter the course of his life forever. This book contains black and white pictures. The story is a page-turner filled with excitement and surprises.

Sitting in her grandmother Dhanna's kitchen, surrounded by the aromas of mint and the smoke of a hookah, warmed by the kangri tucked beneath her thighs, young Sudha Koul listened to tales of She Who Fears Nothing: The Tiger Lady, stories Sudha would repeat to her own daughters in time, though in a kitchen many thousands of miles away from her beloved Kashmir. This is a magical memoir of a land now consumed by political and religious turmoil, a richly detailed story of a girl's passage into maturity, marriage, and motherhood in the midst of an exquisite and fragile world that will never be entirely the same.

Dieon used to lead his people. Now he must protect them from himself... and from the one who possessed him. Echofall needs an izdihar, the bridge between realms, but every girl they take becomes a witch. In desperation they reclaim their original izdihar. The one who broke them. Adisa. Abandoned by Echofall and stripped of the power she once had, the Queen of Witches rises. She lives to see Adisa burn. But Adisa's soul is transferred into Dieon, and he has control of their shared body. Dieon is desperate to free his clan from their curse. Adisa only wants to escape his pursuer. Their coexistence is becoming increasingly unstable. If they don't find a way to separate their merging minds, neither of them will survive long enough to face--or outrun--the witch's flames. The contract has been signed. Echofall claims you. -Reader's Favorite 5 Star Review- "A powerful epic fantasy that is worthy of a place on any fantasy fan's shelves." Praise for Just B.
