Publisher's summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of Dealing with Dragons comes this timeless fantasy, about an ordinary girl who discovers she's the heir to a dark throne, and must find her place between her life on Earth and her magical inheritance.

"A heart-stopping, unique adventure for all!"—Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Kayla is just an ordinary girl . . . or so she thinks. When a day at the state fair is interrupted by the news that she’s the daughter of a “Dark Lord,” she and her family are quickly whisked to another world—one that’s chock-full of magic but lacking in technology!

As her family encounters fantastical creatures in place of their Earthly gadgets, Kayla must prepare for the unpreparable: meeting her father, the Dark Lord himself, for the very first time. All Kayla wants is to go home, but she must learn magic to do so. The catch? For the Dark Lord’s daughter, the road to mastering magic is filled with evil traditions.

As she ventures closer to her father, Kayla must decide whether to accept her birthright. Is she destined for darkness? Or can she become a new kind of Dark Lady?

Critic reviews

"An amusing story of finding one’s place amid the unfamiliar. Its fantasy-world-incompatible technology-turned-familiars are particularly memorable."—Publishers Weekly

"A fresh, engaging fantasy." —Booklist"

Great author and narraters

I have enjoyed everything Wrede has written. The narraters timing is excellent, and lets you enjoy all the humor in the story.

Brilliant new series

Patricia C. Wrede has long been a favorite author. I have always enjoyed her authorial voice. This book has the same feel as her enchanted forest series. I can’t wait to hear the relationship between Kayla and Zar develop when we get a sequel. If you enjoy reading Ursula Vernon/T Kingfisher you will probably love Wrede’s work as well, they both write characters who are relatable and very sensible. I can’t possibly recommend this book strongly enough. I love it I think most people will love it too.
