Description
A young woman is forced to take her sister’s place in the palace of Lo-Melkhiin, a ruler whose hunger for a wife has turned into a cycle of fear and death. Each night, she survives by telling stories—until the sunrise keeps coming and the palace begins to feel less like a prison and more like a puzzle with a hidden history. As she explores the court’s beauty and cruelty, she uncovers the kingdom’s silenced past and discovers that her words may carry real, dangerous magic. Blending mythic atmosphere with lyrical, character-driven storytelling, this novel explores themes of survival, agency, the power of narrative, and the thin line between monsters and the wounds that made them.
