This hot debut, perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone and An Ember in the Ashes, is the first book in an epic new series about a princess hiding a dark secret and the con man she must trust to clear her name for her father's murder.

"With a thrilling, slow-burn romance and a layered, twisty plot that hits the ground running, this spectacular debut delivers. Get ready for a retelling like you’ve never seen before.”
—Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Sky in the Deep and The Girl the Sea Gave Back

The Movie of the Year Is Rocketman, You Cowards!!

Taron Egerton as Elton John in Rocketman.
Writing an end of year list about the best movies? Not including Rocketman on it? Then it is dead to me. It doesn't exist! Because Rocketman is the best movie of 2019. Let me explain.

We Sure Did Love Resurrection Movies in the ’80s and ’90s

Chances Are
Look, I think the fact of the matter is that we like thinking that when we die, we can come back, but right before Y2K, we really wanted to believe in reincarnation and I have to respect that.

Amy March Is the GOAT of Little Women

Florence Pugh in Little Women
When I watched the 1994 version of Little Women for the first time, I said that Amy March was a Scorpio and that I am Amy March. I stand by that statement.
