When Splinter & Ash learn that the Larks are planning on attacking the city of Haven during the Festival of Lights, the two girls decide to do all they can to save their city.

Fantastic follow up! The friendship between the 2 girls is fantastic, all the characters are so unique. Pacing kept me engaged w/out feeling like we were rushing. I do wish we could get more world building of the culture & the magic, but overall a wonderful read!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Princess Ash must deal w/ being looked down on for her cane. Splinter wants to buck tradition & be a knight. The 2 form an unlikely friendship. Unfortunately w/ war on the horizon & a kidnapping it only gets worse from here.

A delightful middle grade fantasy! 2 main characters that are passionate & curious children w/ a lovely friendship! Great secondary characters. Weaker on world building, but I‘d love to pass this on to my nibling!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
