YA
Sixteen-year-old servant Gracepearl dreams of leaving the island of Miramore and finding a greater purpose. It seems her only hope of exit is to marry one of the visiting princes-in-training, forsaking her childhood love--until a secret reveals a possible new future. Outspoken and feisty Gracepearl is overshadowed by the story's melodramatic writing.
