Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Wishtress' magical redemptive arc, and Encanto's Latin vibe. Seventeen-year-old assassin Cottia is desperate to leave behind the work she's been forced into. Her lord offers freedom in exchange for one last hit. The assignment is to start a war by killing a target during the Giddelian prince's betrothal selection ceremony. When the prince uncovers her identity, he offers her a new opportunity. Will his invitation grant her freedom from the notorious underlord? Candice Pedraza Yamnitz fell in love with The Lord of the Rings and Pride and Prejudice in high school and hasn't stopped reading since. She taught in a dual-language elementary classroom for years until she decided to stay at home, teaching a crew of imaginative children. In between reading lessons and converting cardboard boxes into pirate ships, she writes YA novels with a Latin twist. She lives in her native Chicagoland.
