The First Stone (The First Dryad) by Teshelle Combs

4.0

This one was amazing in the journey that we are taken on in terms of Sanaa finding herself. She is brought up in a rigid, unforgiving way, but when she is sent to marry  the Prince of a distant country, she is a fish out of water. While being completely out of sorts, embarrassed, and hopeless, Sanaa is ready to be done. Then, she and Taeyo finally begin to understand one another, and she is able to discover more about herself than she ever thought could exist. The Caramian culture is exactly what Sanaa needed. With high stakes choices and dangerous decisions, will she usher in a new Era for both Rote and Caram, or will she grow cold trying?
