Description
In the colonized nation of Viryana, Poppy Sutherland—an outcast heiress caught between the privilege of her adoptive court and the alienation of her native island—finds her carefully arranged future collapsing when her fiancé’s scheme threatens to exile her. Fleeing for survival, she lands in the hands of Hasan Devar, the feared “Jackal,” whose family’s divine magic has made him a target for the colonizers. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Poppy and Hasan must navigate shifting loyalties, dangerous bargains, and the secrets that could upend both their lives and the political order around them. With themes of identity, colonial power, and the moral cost of ambition, this fast-moving debut by R. A. Basu blends court intrigue and high-stakes rebellion into a story about what it means to claim agency in a world built to deny it.
