Description
2022 Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction
There is always a price for defying destiny.
Violet is a prophet and a liar, influencing the royal court with her cleverly phrased—and not always true—divinations. Honesty is for suckers, like the on-so-not-charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to strip Violet of her official role once he's crowned at the end of the summer—unless Violet does something about it.
The boy must die before summer's end...
But when the king asks her to falsely prophesy Cyrus's love story for an upcoming ball, Violet awakens a dreaded curse, one that will end in either damnation or salvation for the kingdom—all depending on the prince's choice of future bride. Violet faces her own choice: seize an opportunity to gain control of her destiny, no matter the cost, or give in to the ill-fated attraction that's growing between her and Cyrus.
...Or you will burn.
Violet's wits may protect her in the cutthroat court, but they can't change her fate. And as the boundary between hatred and love grows ever thinner, Violet must untangle a wicked web of deceit to save herself and the kingdom—or doom them all.
