A dark and romantic epic fantasy retelling of the Cinderella story,
about a girl who must team up with the prince she despises to defeat an
evil creature threatening their kingdom. The fourth standalone novel in
the New York Times bestselling Ravenspire series by C. J. Redwine.
Blue de la Cour has her life planned: hide the magic in her blood and
continue trying to turn metal into gold so she can help her city's
homeless. But when her father is murdered and a cruel but powerful woman
claims custody of Blue and her property, one wrong move could expose
her--and doom her once and for all. The only one who can help? The boy
she's loathed since childhood: Prince Kellan.
Kellan Renard, crown prince of Balavata, is walking a thin line between
political success and devastating violence. Newly returned from boarding
school, he must find a bride among the kingdom's head families and
announce his betrothal--but escalating violence among the families makes
the search nearly impossible. He's surprised to discover that the one
person who makes him feel like he can breathe is Blue, the girl who once
ruined all his best adventures.
When mysterious forces lead to disappearances throughout Balavata, Blue
and Kellan must work together to find the truth. What they discover will
lead them to the darkest reaches of the kingdom, and to the most painful
moments of their pasts.
When romance is forbidden and evil is rising, can Blue save those she
loves, even if it costs her everything?
