This book was truly a treat to read! It's a melting pot of so many fairytale stories that most of us have grown up hearing, reading, etc. The story is seen through the eyes of Melilot, a young sorceress who only has one meager magical talent. She is told she is to wed a King in another land and sets out! Things go awry before she can arrive safely at the castle! I could not put this book down!
