Fifteen-year-old Dashti, sworn to obey her sixteen-year-old mistress, the Lady Saren, shares Saren's years of punishment locked in a tower, then brings her safely to the lands of her true love, where both must hide who they are as they work as kitchen maids.
This is one of my favorite Shannon Hale books. I especially like the way it is written; the heroine writes in her journal. This is also a fairy tale I had not read before, so it made it new and interesting for me.
