In this world of magic, what magic you have or don't have, sets you up for life. Zahru is one of the lowest forms of magics, a Whisperer who can hear and talk to animals. She sneaks into the palace with her friend, Hen. Zahru unwittingly becomes the sacrifice in a race for the throne-The Crossing. A harrowing journey into the desert where the victor will claim the crown.

Jet and Kasta! Two princes- both were so convincing in their roles that I didn't know which one to trust! They both despise the other. Little sister Sakira is also in this race and will also do whatever she can to win.

This was very fast paced and builds such a great world for you to get lost in. The ending had me already begging for more and this first book has yet to be published! (But soon--coming June 16, 2020)
