She was born with her eyes closed and a word on her tongue,
a word she could not taste. Her name was Anidori-Kiladra
Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kildenree, and she spent
the first years of her life listening to her aunt’s stories
and learning the language of the birds, especially the
swans. And when she was older, she watched as a colt was
born, and she heard the first word on his tongue, his name,
Falada.
From the Grimm’s fairy tale of the princess who became a
goose girl before she could become queen, Shannon Hale has
woven an incredible, original, and magical tale of a girl
who must find her own unusual talents before she can lead
the people she has made her own.
