By Alaine's second chapter (the third chapter), she's in Coran and dealing with the shock of being in somekind of medieval times. McPerhson keeps the pace moving in this story. You can probably guess that these two will find themselves pitted against one another, and it's soooooooo good. It's dual 3rd POV, and the chapters alternate between Alaine (who is on a personal quest to find her biological parents in Seattle) and Prince Mikael who has returned home to his father's kingdom from exile and is determined to prove to King Salamon of Caledonia that he has seen the error of his former sympathies for the illegal use of magic.
McPherson's protagonists (16-year-old Alaine from USA, Earth) and 19-year-old Prince Mikael (from a kingdom in Coran-a different universe than Earth-hence the series title The Coran Chronicles). *The fast-paced action and moral dilemmas faced by the characters! I absolutely fell in love with The Stolen Heir and the Exiled Prince! Magic will bring Alaine and Mikael together, but can they put their drastic differences aside to help one another in a world that wants to tear them apart? Torn between his father’s approval and protecting his sister, Mikael must make a choice that will decide his future-and the lives of Caledonia's Gifted-even if it means enduring exile and anguish once again. To make matters worse, a young woman he sent to the gallows reveals a level of power he’s never seen before. Vowing to spend the rest of his days bringing the Gifted to justice, he finds himself conflicted when he discovers that his sister is one of them. Prince Mikael has returned home to Caledonia from a temporary exile in the north, determined to become the prince his people will fear and respect.
The magic running through her veins saves her from the hangman’s noose, but not from the vengeful hands of the crown prince. Suddenly, she’s no longer in her small town in Washington State, but on another world called Coran, in a city that despises Gifted people. Instead, she collides with a strange man, who transfers a piece of magic into her.
All Alaine Turner wants is to find the family who gave her up as a baby-and the day she passes her driving test, she leaves her adoptive family to seek out her blood relatives.
