Annaleigh is the daughter of a duke, actually she is one of 12 daughters. Well, there were 12 daughters, but several have died so now there are only 8 left. Some folks on the island they live on think there is a curse but Annaleigh thinks someone has murdered her sisters. This fantasy which has similarities to The 12 Dancing Princesses fairy tale  is filled with dancing at balls, evil gods, good half-gods, maybe-an-evil-stepmother, passionate romantic moments and some creepy almost horror like scenes. Even with all of this going on it was hard to become attached to the characters and care about what was going to happen to them next because it took so long to get the exciting part of the story.
