About this ebook
Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and Sorcery of Thorns, this exhilarating, page-turning fantasy will pull readers into a lush and stunning world where nothing—and no one—can be trusted.
I did not choose this fate. But I will not walk away from it.
Children have been disappearing from across Menaiya for longer than Amraeya ni Ansarim can remember. When her friend’s sister is snatched, Rae knows she can’t look away any longer—even if that means seeking answers from the royal court, where her country upbringing and clubfoot will only invite ridicule.
Yet the court holds its share of surprises. There she discovers an ally in the foreign princess, who recruits her as an attendant. Armed with the princess’s support, Rae seeks answers in the dark city streets, finding unexpected help in a rough-around-the-edges street thief with secrets of his own.
But treachery runs deep, and the more Rae uncovers, the more she endangers the kingdom itself.

“Khanani beautifully crafts Alyrra’s quiet but clear journey of self-definition." —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I read "Thorn" last year and really loved it. So I was excited to get to the sequel and I loved it just as much. It's main character is different but the princess is a side character & it was interesting to see her through other eyes. The only complaints I have are that it was only towards the end that I realised the story was not completing here (but luckily the 3rd is out this July 2022) and it was pretty obvious to me who the "bad guy" was as soon as they appeared. But tbh that doesn't matter to the story.
