Hidden Warrior (Paperback)

A borrowed face. That the land of Skala should be ruled by queens was decreed by prophecy. But when the line of queens died out, King Erius seized power, and he is determined to hold onto it. The king's nephew, Prince Tobin, is second in line to the throne. But he is not what he seems. To protect him from the assassinations ordered by his paranoid uncle, Tobin's identity was disguised shortly after birth. Now, with the onset of puberty, Tobin has discovered his true self - she is the rightful heir to the throne. Tobin has been forced to live a lie, deceiving not only her potential enemies but also her closest friends. And soon Skala will have need of its true queen. As plague ravages the land, ancient enemies threaten war and the wizards who have traditionally protected Skala are mercilessly persecuted, it seems that day may be drawing near. Tobin must be ready to reveal her true identity and serve her country, whatever the personal cost.
