Deerskin. By Robin McKinley
Princess Lissar was a forgotten child. She was overshadowed by her enigmatic and beautiful mother. But when her mother dies people start to notice young Lissar, and more importantly, her father begins to notice her in a way that disturbs her more than ever. Her mirror image looks of her mother bring attention that frightens her, and events cause her to run away in her sixteenth year. With only her loyal companion, Ash her hound, to accompany her Lissar must survive the physical, and more importantly, the emotional danger she faces as she travels under the name Deerskin to a new kingdom.
A dark and hauntingly beautiful adult romance. Beautifully written and keeps you glued to the page. Warning: Has some disturbing adult themes. Other than that I would recommend it to any fantasy romance lover.
