She couldn't be sure which was louder--the person on their trail or her own heart, galloping like a stallion in her ears.

With one hand over Henry's mouth, Avery looked down at the nicest dress she owned. Not only had she torn the ruffles and destroyed the hem, but the white linen stood out in the shadowy woods, making her an easy target.

I f she survived this afternoon and made it home tonight--and that felt like a giant if --her father would demand to know why her dress was stained with grass and mud and tinged with blood. She would tell him the truth.

The king is growing old and is concerned about who will replace him. His new wife wants to produce an heir to the throne. The only problem? Thirteen years ago, the king's first wife gave birth to a son, and no one knows for sure what happened to him. Rumors swirl throughout the castle. For the new queen, the solution as simple: dispose of all the thirteen-year-olds in the kingdom.
