Publisher's Summary

Uncover a captivating fantasy kingdom, filled with dark secrets, intrigue and betrayal....

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 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 at court she discovers an ally in the foreign princess, Alyrra, who recruits her as an attendant. So Rae begins to seek answers in the dark city streets, finding unexpected help in a thief with secrets of his own. But treachery runs deep, and the more Rae uncovers, the more she endangers the kingdom itself. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Love this series!

After the first book there was a prequel to this one. It really caught my interest. I have to say that I really enjoy how this world and it’s stories unfold.

The pacing keeps you interested and there are great surprises along the way. I definitely didn’t know what was coming next. Highly recommended.

not as great as thorn and the narrator's annoying

answers some questions form thorn but the narrator was quite annoying changing her accents. I don't think it was necessary. I didn't enjoy the romance felt insta love which I expected better from khanani. still an enjoyable listen.
