“Harry” makes the long journey to the desert to live with Sir Charles and Lady Amelia ,her elder brother’s benefactors, after her parents death. While there she is a witness of a strange encounter with the king of the Free Hillfolk who is trying to protect his people from invasion and comes seeking the help of the Outlanders. The Outlanders cannot help and so the king is compelled for reasons he does not entirely understand to kidnap Harry and take he with them on their journey, she is soon found to be invaluable to the camp and may change the future forever.
This is one of my absolute favorite books I love Harry’s personality and the friendships she makes along the way. I love her strength as she learns the ways of the Hillfolk and her force of personality as she confronts the king. I have loved this book since I was 12 and it gets better with every reading.
