But there’s something deeply amiss in her new home, too, and soon she finds herself swept into a deadly new mystery with a secretive prince, the ghost of an ancient queen, and a poison vine called Bloodleaf.

When a devastating assassination attempt reveals her magical abilities, Aurelia is forced to flee her country with nothing but her life.

Aurelia is a princess, but they call her a witch. |
