When Theodosia was six years old, she was forced to watch as her country was overtaken and her mother, the queen, was assassinated. For the past ten years, she has survived by pretending to be subservient to the new king by quietly submitting to his cruel games. Now 16, she is reunited with her childhood best friend, a rebel who convinces her to fight for her people before they fade away forever. To protect her country, she agrees to kill the crown prince, a young man who is the opposite of his father and seems to be falling for her. As her feelings grow confusing, Theodosia must struggle to decide how far she is willing to go to reclaim her legacy and protect her people. I loved the first installment in this new fantasy series. I was intrigued with the magic of the realm, which was housed in special gems, and hoarded by the invaders. I cheered for Theodosia as she fought against years of abuse and humiliation to find her power and freedom, and I am excited to see where her heart will follow. Recommended!
