about her chance to attend school in the capital city. There, Miri befriends students who seem so sophisticated
and exciting . . . until she learns that they have some frightening plans. They think that Miri will help them, that
she should help them. Soon Miri finds herself torn between loyalty to the princess and her new friends’ ideas,
between an old love and a new crush, and between her small mountain home and the bustling city.
