In a secluded village, magic sparkles on the edges of the forest. There, a young girl named Evie possesses unusually strong powers as a healer. A gypsy's charms—no more than trinkets when worn by others—are remarkably potent when Evie ties them around her neck. Her talents, and charms, have not escaped the notice of the shy stonemason's apprentice. But Evie wants more than a quiet village and the boy next-door. When the young king's carriage arrives one day, and his footman has fallen ill, Evie might just get her chance after all . . .

Just finished this yesterday. It's fabulous.
The Amaranth Enchantment is an all time favorite book of both me and my girls. We can't wait for this new book of Julie's!
I'm really looking forward to reading this as well. The Amaranth Enchantment was so cute. I'm sure this is just as good. :)
Fantasy at its best! I really enjoyed this tale. I think it was better than The Amaranth Enchantment, and that's saying something because I loved it. It was a fun twist on the magical animal/person connection to make someone extraordinary, even more extraordinary.
