He's an orphan-having lost both his mother and father-and he's on his way to a new life. To defeat the king and his dark court, they will need one invisibility cloak, a black wool chain knit with enchanted silver needles, and that most critical ingredient of all-true love." Then Rose meets Galen, a young soldier-turned-gardener with an eye for adventure and a resolve that matches her own, and freedom suddenly begins to seem a little less impossible. It is a curse that has haunted the girls since their birth-and only death will set them free. Here is the book jacket, "Princess Rose is the eldest of twelve sisters condemned to dance each night for the wicked King Under Stone in his palace deep within the earth. No, it's the story of the hero-in-waiting, Galen. But the story, for the most part, is not their stories-the stories of the twelve princesses. It looks and sounds like this will be all princess-y. Perhaps not the most eloquent way to start the review.
