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

Anna and Elsa standing side by side in Frozen 2.
It’s hard not to love our Anxiety Queen; Elsa’s transformation from doubting herself to coming into control of her powers has been relatable for fans of all ages. However, Anna is an Arendelle royal to watch, as well. Anna’s journey in Frozen 2 is equally as important as Elsa’s, and it's not getting nearly the attention it deserves.
