Have you ever felt like something was missing in your life? Perhaps there?s something you want to do, but your parents or the government say no. Maybe someone in your life has been cruel to you, or you see the people in charge being cruel to others. But you?re only a kid. What can you do?? Author Aislee Greenwood?s A Test of Loyalty introduces you to several young characters who have similar issues with their lives. All Lily ever wanted was the freedom to express herself: not to sit quietly by and allow her parents to plan her entire future. Kearne longs to escape the wrath of his cruel, short-tempered father, who never misses an opportunity to remind him exactly who?s in charge. And Prince Baline, who has never agreed with his family?s treatment of the lower class, longs desperately to help one of the maids in his castle earn the freedom she deserves. Unfortunately, he?s also trying very hard to stop his family from going to war with Lily?s kingdom, and it?s taking a lot of his attention. A Test of Loyalty, part one in the Taming Fire Series, is a reminder that most of us have things about our lives we would like to change. And it adds insight to the question, Is there a way for every person?to have a happy ending?
