Prince Karhiad has turned 17 and become a man in his kingdom. He is also next in line for the throne. He is different than your typical king. He is liked and likes the people. When he sees this bright light on the night of his 17th birthday, he has to find it. When he gets to this creek, the light is gone but he sees a women. The next day when he returns to see what he can find, he finds Faith.
Faith is from a city no one believes exisit. They like to keep it that way. No one leaves and no one can find it unless they walk the path of light.
Over the time they spend together they share about their homes. How they differ and what they share. They call for each other. Then tragedy stricks. Secrets and lies and manipulation take over.
So the first 1/3 of the book is slow going. It jumps back and forth between Karhiad and Faith's point of view. I feel that it would have been better if each point of view was labeled. Also they do a lot of talking in their head but it is written just like regular speaking. So there can be a lot of confusion. There was for me.
The biggest thing is this book is so long. It should have been at least 2 books. I don't mind long books but It felt like a different book half way through. I like the story though and am curious what happens next.
