The Flame Tree

The title of this post is my new book I'm working on. It's about a girl, Rose Aziarow, who's mother got killed when she was seven. There is a war going on, between her city, Ithengar, and the rival city Shadowmar. Her father was killed in the war, so she became the queen of Ithengar. But she was kidnapped by the Gargouilles, creatures that live in Shadowmar. They forced her to marry Demetri Okerin, the prince of Shadowmar, who is now king, so Rose is the queen of two rival cities. Her new husband beats her on rare occasions. She finds the Spirit Tree, a silver tree that has little bulbs on it, and a soul is in each bulb. She finds that she can talk to and see her dead mother when she is around the tree. She tells her mother about everything that happened, and her unwilling attraction to Demetri, even though he's evil. Her mother tells her that there is no rescue coming from Ithengar, so Rose has to stay in Shadowmar.
Then she meets James, a guy who she likes a lot. And because Demetri seems to hate Rose, she falls in love with James, and they do some *cough* adult things, and it makes her feel sick. All this happens again and again, until she finally tells Demetri about her affair with James. He isn't angry at her, and they soon find themselves running for their lives when Ithengar launches an attack at Shadowmar.
And finally, the war ends, and Rose figures out that Shadowmar was really the good city after all, and Ithengar was the bad one. So how does it sound? Give me some feedback, people! :)
