When he is there with her he gets a call and answers it she knows something is wrong his face turns serious her friend Minnette is in the hospital they race there she knew all about the cause and Dodge is just learning this that she knew about her drug problem and didn't tell him. He is furious and turns away from her. It ends on a cliffhanger. We don't know what happens to Minnette yet...

Anna visits a real palace built by Eleanor of Aquitane, and Anna has her first kiss there with Dodge in France, where she returned to see her friends. Anna also goes on a date with Dodge later on because her dad likes him, and he lets him take her as long as she was back by nine. It's early, but it happened. They go to a nice pizza place this is when it turns upside down...

Last chapter and wow I cant believe all that happened that fast. First Anna wants to change up her look she goes on a shopping trip with her friends and they get a couple of things. Then it goes to her and Dodge talking because of the history their families have within the story of Amos and the necklace and how everything is connected. The stories he told were true...

I feel so bad for Amos he gets nothing but a quil and paper to write and his only wish was that he had left earlier than he said he would he wouldn't be in the mess he is now. Locked away in the tower, it's cold, but he barely has a light blanket and his minstrel cloak the king had given him. He wished he had his older one it was much warmer.

This makes me so mad somehow what Amos told Ida got back to the king and Raspinir and now he called the guards on Amos to take him away to the tower because he asked about the contents of the flask and what was in it. The king had betrayed Amos, the friend he once trusted, turned his back on him, and betrayed him. Amos told his son to go home and tell his mother Amos was innocent.

Now Amos confronts the queen about the king's condition he is being slowly poisoned, and Amos knows this from Ida. He told her nobody else has the ear of the king except Raspinir. He then asks, "Do you have his ear? That's when she sadly had to admit this was serious she didn't. She was the queen she had to do something about this she had to order him to leave with the guards behind her.

Amos goes to his friend Ida to figure out what is in the mixture Raspinir mixed together for him. He let's him have it, so he he gave it to Ida to figure out what it is she immediately tells him the ingredients except one that she can't put her finger on. It makes him a little drunk she says that way Raspinir can almost control him. He tells her don't tell anyone about this she said she wouldn't.

A time was coming when Amos' son Amos Richard was coming into wanting to become a minstrel like his father he has seen what his father used to do and he wanted to do the same travel and tell stories. He announced his father to the court that he was about to tell a story, and the court went even more crazy with applause. They told stories the rest of the year.

This chapter focuses on Amos trying to find a place to live with his family as they now wanted to move and not to have such a busy life with the inn and everything else they were doing. There was a place he was looking at, but it didn't seem like it would work until the people he talked to about it assured him it would be ready when he came back because it seemed like too much work. Right now, the king needed him.

It was a cause for celebration it was the Queen's Birthday. Amos had a short story to tell about 2 boys who told lies to a porcupine, and he would determine whose story was better. The bishop where they lived didn't like this. They told him what was really going on a contest of lies. It was now the time in which the king's title would be certified. He was actually king now before he was too young.
