This is no ordinary fairytale. The prince isn't charming, the princess is spoilt, and you certainly won't guess the ending.
When the princess refuses to marry the prince her father has chosen, her father is so furious he locks her in a tower. She has seven long years to think about her insolence.But the princess is not entirely alone - she can take her maid, Dashti. During their captivity, clever and resourceful Dashti discovers that there is something far more sinister behind her princess's fears of marrying the prince and when, finally, they break free from the tower, they find the land laid to waste and the kingdom destroyed.
'My very favourite recent read...Dashti has made her way into my top ten favourite heroines of all time' Stephenie Meyer
'I really enjoyed this book. Dashti's distinctive voice and often beautiful phrases drew me into the story and wouldn't let me leave until I had finished. 10/10.' - Isabella, 17
