They believed she was normal, but they were wrong. You see, she was born with a gift; a very rare and wondrous gift. She could whisper to the dead and hear their thoughts ring throughout her head. However, being a princess she was not supposed to have such powers. In fact, such a thing would condemn her and land her body in a swallow grave.

Not revealing the secret for just about her entire childhood, the young princess finally relinquished her secret and shared it with her dearest and most beloved friend. Together, they worked on breaking what they believed was a curse. For a long while, things had seemed to vanish, but then, one day, the voices came back.

She was caught and by the eyes of the most powerful man in the land -- her father, the king. Afraid of death, the princess escaped on foot with the help of her faithful lady in waiting. As she journeyed across the terrain, she came across a very handsome man who was traveling the land with the hopes of making a profit.

What happens to the princess? What about the friend? Things might get ugly, but that's expected in a story. So will you stick along and read her tale? Or will you you close this book and move onto another?
