About this ebook

An epic fantasy filled with adventure, intrigue, and romance from the New York Times bestselling coauthor of My Plain Jane, perfect for fans of Graceling by Kristin Cashore, The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, and Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.

When Princess Wilhelmina was a child, the Indigo Kingdom invaded her homeland. Ten years later, Wil and the other noble children who escaped are ready to fight back and reclaim Wil’s throne. To do so, Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate the Indigo Kingdom palace with hopes of gathering information that will help them succeed.

But Wil has a secret—one that could change everything. Although magic has been illegal for a century, she knows her ability could help her save her kingdom. But magic creates wraith, and the deadly stuff is moving closer and destroying the land.

And if the vigilante Black Knife catches her using magic, she may disappear like all the others....

Ratings and reviews

I'm not a big reader and I'm picky about books because an author really has to pull me in and keep me in to finish their book. This was an amazing book. It took me about 2 weeks to finish. I'm so glad I purchased this AFTER Jodi made the second book because of the ending. So much happening from the beginning to the end. Love this book! It was very well written! The imagery, the characters, everything was simply superb.

I picked it random at the library, so glad I did! Had action but not gore, all over emotion, such a well written book! Can't wait to start the next one!

i recommend this book because it has a twist you wont expect and it has the right amount of mystery,love, and danger between her fighting to get her kingdom back and the night vigilant she keeps running into

About the author

The Lady Janies are made up of New York Times bestselling authors Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, and Jodi Meadows. They first met in 2012, when their publishers sent them on a book tour together, and they hit it off so well they decided to write My Lady Jane so they could go on book tours together all the time. Between the three of them they’ve written more than twenty published novels, a bunch of novellas, a handful of short stories, and a couple of really bad poems. They’re friends. They’re writers. They’re fixing history by rewriting one sad story at a time. Learn more at ladyjanies.com.
