Book Description
The author of the Twelve Hours series welcomes readers to a new fantasy world, where the elements rule.
Zoe Ardelay receives astonishing and unwelcome news: she has been chosen to become the king's fifth wife. Forced to go to the royal city, she manages to slip away and hide on the shores of the mighty river.
It's there that Zoe realizes she is a coru prime ruled by the elemental sign of water. She must return to the palace, not as an unwilling bride for the king, but a woman with power in her own right. But as Zoe unlocks more of the mysteries of her blood—and the secrets of the royal family—she must decide how to use her great power to rise above the deceptions and intrigue of the royal court.

This review is from: Troubled Waters (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great book. It is an exciting adventure story that had me on the edge of my seat. I absolutely loved the way she wrote her characters and I truly appreciated the fact that her female lead was believable and had a mind of her own, she was not a cookie cutter character. She was real and wonderful and unpredictable. I will be buying more books from this author. Highly recommend this book.

Once again Sharon Shinn has drawn me into a fantastical world in which I would love to stay. The story of Zoe Ardelay was at once gripping, funny and romantic and her adventures and voyage of self discovery enthralling. Read the book all in one sitting in hopes that there may be more to come.

I am almost done reading this book. Once again miss Shinn has created a fantastic world and peopled it with loveable characters. I can only hope that this story is the first of a new series. I am sure that Zoe Ardelay is destined to have many more adventures. I am looking forward to more books from miss Shinn.
