| Book Synopsis |
Evonalé has never cared for tales of loathsome tyrants, seduced maids, and prophesied saviors. In the world of Aleyi, prophecies always come true. Evonalé herself is [i]supposed[i] to somehow free her grandmother’s enslaved queendom. But she’s merely a child, and her father is the powerful fire mage who subjugates the realm.
Evonalé has therefore fled home, her two half-siblings, and the father who really should’ve been her uncle. (She would flee her lethal but not quite insane faery godmother, too, if she could get away with it, but that’s a side issue.)
Unfortunately, it’s the middle of winter. Fortunately, following her mother’s directions puts her in another king’s hunting grounds. That king picks her up and gives her a place in his palace, to Evonalé’s bewilderment. The prince seeks her out to tease and befriend. Then one of Cook’s daughters starts teaching her magic, and a scullery maid impossibly proves herself immune to poison—making Evonalé realize that she isn’t the only one with secrets. |
