Determined to find her father’s killer, Hesina does something desperate: she engages the aid of a soothsayer-a treasonous act, punishable by death… because in Yan, magic was outlawed centuries ago.
Princess Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown, but when her beloved father is murdered, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the queen of an unstable kingdom. Opening line: A well-conceived costume is a new identity, the father used to say as he put on his commoner’s cloak. And then, like other readers before me, I fell head over heels in love with this brilliant debut. I picked this out mostly because I loved the cover and while I hadn’t heard much about it, every review I had read was glowing.
This book is a sneaky bastard, in the very best of ways! It was actually the first book I read during my vacation but because there’s just so much contained within these two covers, my review took a bit more time.
