Dashti is a mucker maid to Lady Saren. Not long after she becomes so, however, they are locked up in a tower with no way out and no company except each other. They are supposed to stay there for seven years - but, of course, why would the author torture you with that? Who is in charge of the break-out? Who is threatening to burn the tower down? How will they escape? This book is written as a journal of Dashti's, where she reveals all her secrets, hopes, desires, and fears. She's told of the times she felt unworthy, the times when she was triumphant, and the multiple times her life has been threatened.
Shannon Hale is a wonderful master of words. Her books run smoothly and wonderfully, drawing the reader in until he or she can't put the book down until they've read it all the way through.
(This book is one that I'm going to have to read again)
