Princess Sylvi's people have been allies with the neighboring pegasi for centuries. There has always been a language barrier--until Sylvi and pegasus prince Ebon are bonded. Sylvi and Ebon can communicate freely in silent-speech, the pegasi's native language, which threatens the magician-interpreters of Sylvi's kingdom. McKinley's writing is leisurely and descriptive, full of the enjoyment of imagining her winged-horse culture.
