Helpful Score: 5

This book is the first of two books by Delia Marshall Turner, who sadly hasn't written anything other than these two. The second book is "Of Swords and Spells". This book is about a strong-headed girl, Lisane, who is a magic user and queen of her people. Lisane escapes persection against magic users on her planet by the "enforcers", and arrives on a new planet where only men are believed to have magic powers. There she is enrolled in a school for adepts and clashes with King Kaihan. This book combines fantasy and magic use with science fiction and spaceships very well. There is also a little romance. Very unique story and I thought the ending came together very well. It also ties in with the next book but both can be stand alone.
