Eriale is almost an Adept magician, the most powerful there can be.  As the seventeen-year-old half-sister to the Queen, Eriale is found in the midst of a scandal when she turns a suitor into a sheep, she is sent on her first Journeyman's quest until the incident is forgotten.  While on her quest, Eriale is bound to use her magic to help those around her, but she also wants to do one important thing so that she can become fully adept- lose her virginity.  She hopes to do this with the help of Kealan, the courier who delivered the request for help.  First, however, Eriale and Kealan must stop an evil force that is destroying the lives of the people of Grumesh.  

A fun, fantasy adventure in a beautifully built world with a strong heroine.  The castles, crystal fairies and magical workings were so well described that I had no trouble painting this world inside my head. I absolutely loved Eriale's character, she is strong, brave and level headed, but not without any faults. She was very easy to identify with.  Most of all, I enjoyed the way virginity was treated in the book, not something to be held onto and cherished, but something she needed to lose in order to fully gain her magic.  Eriale was ready to help in whatever way she could with her magic, even when it meant taking on pain.  Her relationship with Kealan was sweet, though I knew where it would go; it was interesting to see their interactions as the relationship developed.  

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
