From New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer comes an electrifying fantasy romance, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Aveyard.
A desperate prince. A daring outlaw. A dangerous flirtation.
In the Wilds of Kandala, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade has been watching people suffer for too long. A mysterious sickness is ravaging the land and the cure, Moonflower Elixir, is only available for the wealthy. So every night, she defies the royal edicts and sneaks out, stealing Moonflower petals and leaving the elixir for those in need.
In the palace of Kandala, Prince Corrick serves as the King’s Justice, meting out vicious punishments and striking fear into the hearts of agitators and outlaws. Corrick knows he must play this role convincingly--with a shortage of elixir and threats of rebellion looming ever closer, the King’s grip on power is tenuous at best, and Corrick knows his brother is the kingdom’s best hope for survival.
But when an act of unspeakable cruelty brings the royal and the outlaw face to face, the natural enemies are faced with an impossible choice--and a surprising spark. Will they follow their instincts to destroy each other? Or will they save the kingdom together . . . and let that spark ignite?
Perfect for fans of Aurora Rising, The Hunger Games, and Three Dark
Crowns, this electrifying duology closer is jam-packed with tension
and thrills that will hook readers from its first page. Alyssa
Farshot never wanted to rule the empire. But to honor her uncle's
dying wish, she participated in the crownchase, a race across the
empire's 1,001 planets to find the royal seal and win the throne.
Alyssa tried to help her friend, Coy, win the crownchase, but just
as victory was within their grasp, Edgar Voles killed Coy-and
claimed the seal for himself. Broken-hearted over her friend's
death, Alyssa is hell-bent on revenge. But Edgar is well protected
in the kingship. Alyssa will have to rally rivals, friends, and
foes from across the empire to take him down and change the course
of the galaxy.
