5.0

A perfect YA Fantasy standalone. Set in the political aftermath of a plague that sweeps across a continent, yet so much more than that. Assassination plots, ghosts, scenes of trauma and recovery; this is a thrilling story with compelling characters propelling the plot along every step of the way.

A lost price returned home with a dark past lurking over his shoulder, and secrets both behind and ahead of him for him to keep or uncover.

A princess with a whole lot of spunk, and none of the shirked responsibility often found in YA heirs.

And supporting cast that hooked me from the outset.
