Publisher Description
A high-stakes fantasy rom-com about twin princesses separated at birth—one raised as the crown princess, and the other taken as an infant and raised to kidnap her sister, steal the crown, and avenge the parents' murders—the first novel in a new YA duology from bestselling UK authors Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber. Perfect for fans of The Selection, My Lady Jane, and Caraval.
Wren Greenrock has always known that one day she’d steal her sister’s place on the throne. Trained from birth to return to the palace and avenge her parents’ murder, she’ll do anything to become queen and protect the community of witches who raised her. Or she would, if only a certain guard wasn’t quite so distractingly attractive, and if her reckless magic would stop causing trouble. . . .
Princess Rose Valhart knows that with power comes responsibility—and she won’t let a small matter like waking up in the desert with an extremely impertinent (and very handsome) kidnapper get in the way of her duty. But life outside the palace is wilder and more beautiful than she ever imagined, and the witches she has long feared might turn out to be the family she never had.
But as coronation day looms and each sister strives to claim her birthright, an old enemy becomes increasingly determined that neither will succeed. Who will ultimately rise to power and wear the crown?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Doyle (The Storm Keeper trilogy) and Webber (The Revelry) spin a complex tale of royal intrigue, power grabs, and ancient magic in this riveting duology opener. Since her parents' murders 18 years prior, Princess Rose Valheart of the island nation Eana has been cared for by domineering regent Willem Rathborne, who has taught her to hate the witches who used to rule preceding the monarchy. Unknown to Rose, her twin sister, Wren Greenrock, was rescued by witches on the night of their parents' deaths and has been raised to restore the witches to power by impersonating Rose and eventually taking her place as queen. After Wren's roguish best friend, East Asian–cued Shen Lo, kidnaps Rose and transports her to the witch's settlement on the other side of the island's desert, Wren assumes her role in the castle. As Rose uncovers her true heritage and innate healing magic, Wren stumbles upon a fiendish political scheme. The creators use the sisters' alternating perspectives, memorable characters, and dynamic relationships to unspool a leisurely paced and lushly described adventure, which is steeped in absorbing magic and exhilarating romance. Rose and Wren cue as white. Ages 14–up.
Customer Reviews
This book was so good!
So I got this book on sale and I wasn’t sure what to think about it. It was amazing, I loved everything. Especially the characters and their personalities were beautiful and different from one another. I have two sisters and from my experience the sisterhood at the end was a very accurate representation of what happens when you have a sibling. The authors did a very good job with the wording because if there are too many descriptions I get confused, too little and I don’t care about the story. There are so many things I absolutely loved about this book but if I listed them all we would be here for hours. I will be getting the next one as soon as I can. Overall thanks to Katherine and Catherine for bringing this book into the world, it truly was a joy to read.
Please buy it if you haven’t already, you won’t regret it.
Just fun
Everything you want in a ya fantasy. Just so much fun!
It was a good try.
Cute story line, but the writing was stunted. I’m probably not going to bother with the second book.
