What's Zel About

Publisher Summary

High in the mountains, Zel lives with her mother, who insists they have all they need – for they have each other. Zel’s life is peaceful and protected – until a chance encounter changes everything. When she meets a beautiful young prince at the market one day, she is profoundly moved by new emotions. But Zel’s mother sees the future unfolding – and she will do the unspeakable to prevent Zel from leaving her…”Will leave readers spellbound.”– Publishers Weekly, starred review
