Born with a strange mark on her hip, she has the ability to communicate with animals. It is her sole wish to bring together the five kingdoms of Halcyon so that all may know peace, whether they be man or beast. Though that desire seems unreachable, for the people of the land have warred and quarreled for ages. But then, an unexpected surprise gives Amelia the chance to change things for the better. An arranged marriage to the prince of one of the oldest rival kingdoms promises to bring about a new era of peace and harmony. It all seems too good to be true, but there is more to this proposal than meets the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThings don't go quite as planned, and Amelia is forced to flee her home with her closest friend and personal bodyguard, Alan.
