Description
When a young woman is sent to a distant kingdom to fulfill a dangerous bargain, she expects to be a pawn in someone else’s story—until she discovers the rules are far more complicated than anyone told her. As she navigates shifting loyalties, unsettling truths, and the pressure to perform “bravery” on command, she must decide what kind of hero she’s willing to be. Blending fairy-tale tension with sharp, contemporary insight, this novel explores themes of agency, identity, and the cost of being defined by others’ expectations. With Elana K. Arnold’s fast, emotionally resonant storytelling, the result is a suspenseful, character-driven reimagining that challenges the meaning of damselhood and the stories we inherit.
