![The Unforgiven by [Rose, A. Katie]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51hTV3Q7mAL._SY346_.jpg)
The Unforgiven starts out a little wordy, while it had me chuckling, I felt like the author was trying a little too hard. Also at first I was thinking, this book is going to go nowhere if the whole book was like that. But after the first few pages it really picked up. I really enjoyed reading this book and while it makes a great stand alone book I was kind of sad that I won't be reading more about these characters. I really came to enjoy them.
There are two kingdoms who fear and hate each other. The humans fear magic and teach their kids to fear and hate it. While the other kingdom is all magical, shape shifters, griffins, centaurs, and other mythical creatures. Both have heard of the prophecy of the child that will forever unite their kingdoms. And both are fighting to find the child first. Vanyar, a shapeshifter, goes with his commander Malick the centaur, to protect princess Iyumi on their journey to find the prophesied child. Meanwhile, Flynn, the prince of the human kingdom is commanded by his father to go kidnap the princess, find the child and bring them both back home.
There was a lot of action, humor, and emotion throughout the whole book which really helps you connect with the characters and really like you're seeing them as your reading. This was a great book that I would definitely recommend.

Product Description
When the moon and the sun
Are joined as one,
From tears of strife, from the bitter ashes,
From sorrow and from rage
That what was once parted
Shall again be one.
First Captain Vanyar: Disgraced. Outlawed. Haunted by the chilling murder of his own men, he is consumed by guilt and knows he can never find redemption for his crimes. The most talented Shape-Shifter ever born, only he can save Princess Iyumi from a Witch’s evil, and help her find the child of prophecy. But his Atani brothers, seeking justice for the slaying of Vanyar’s unit, plan his private execution against the King’s orders.
Princess Iyumi: She is the legendary “She Who Hears”, the voice of the gods, and the gods’ chosen tool. Only she knows where to find the child spoken of in the ancient prophecy, the child who will unite two warring countries and protect the world of magic from obliteration. Caught between two warring men, only her love is hers to give, to offer to the only man she ever wanted.
Prince Flynn: Despised by his own people, cruelly abused by his father, he fights to hide his magical gifts from those who would slay him for possessing them. By blood and by fire, he gains a terrible power, and condemns his own soul. He must find Princess Iyumi and the child, and bring them to his father’s mistress, the Red Witch. Or the only people who ever mattered to him, his mother and his sister, will die.
