New Arrival!

Mistwood by Leah Cypess is a new book we have here in the library. Destiny says:

"Brought back from the Mistwood to protect the royal family, a girl who has no memory of being a shape-shifter encounters political and magical intrigue as she struggles with her growing feelings for the prince."

Sounds intriguing!
