Book Description:
Although she is the daughter of Damar's king, Aerin has never been accepted as full royalty. Both in and out of the royal court, people whisper the story of her mother, the witchwoman, who was said to have enspelled the king into marrying her to get an heir to rule Damar-then died of despair when she found she had borne a daughter instead of a son. But none of them, not even Aerin herself, can predict her future-for she is to be the true hero who will wield the power of the Blue Sword...

Nice beginning. Followed by the Hero and the Crown. Problem is the series seems to demand a third book that apparently has never been written.

Aerin could not remember a time when she had not known the story; she had grown up knowing it. It was the story of her mother, the witchwoman who enspelled the kning into marrying her, to het an heir that would rule Damar, and it was told that she turned her face to the wall and died of dispair when she found out she had borne a daughter instead of a son. Aerin was that daughter. But there was more of the story yet to be told: Aerin's destiny was greater than even she had dreamed - for she was to be the true hero who would wield the poer of the Blue Sword.
