The kingdom of Bethany was once a beautiful place made up of five magical nations, each with their own special gifts. It all changed in a day, however, when the murderous dredgelings arrived. No one quite knows where they came from or how they keep multiplying, no matter how many are killed in the long, cruel war they’ve waged. All seems to be lost, until a human girl named Taylor is mistakenly transported to Bethany. Kane, the king over these nations, despises her whole-heartedly at first, and then she makes him laugh for the first time since the devastation began years ago. And the earthling manages to find new ways to surprise him with her valor and loyalty every single day. Unfortunately, Taylor’s only wish through their dangerous quest to reunite three magical stones and save the kingdom, aside from surviving this fearful place, is to return home.
But as fate goes, she soon discovers the only way to recapture the stones and save the lives of the royals she’s come to love as her first real family is to give up any hope of ever returning to her old life. In the end it all comes down to what sort of hero she truly is, one to her own self, or one to entire nations.

I read this book without any expectations. I hadn't even read the back description when I picked it up so that I would see how it was standing on it's own feet (per se) .... And I was so pleased! It grabbed my attention right away and did not let it go through the entire story. The characters were engaging and had their own personalities. The writer kept the story moving without relying on any factor too much. There was just the right amount of action, dialog, emotions, etc. I was absolutely captivated and I loved the story. I felt like I was right there seeing it all, feeling, smelling, heart pumping, fearing, and celebrating as needed. I would easily read this again and any other book by this author. I was very impressed with her work and I would not mind at all if this story had continued. It was one of those stories that made me sad when it was over because the world was so well done and felt like the perfect place to be. Highly recommend this book!
