In this thrilling Afro-fantasy, the first set in the lush, opulent kingdom of Galla, a girl raised in secret must leave
her sheltered rural home for the subtle dangers of the royal court, where she becomes caught up in deadly
power struggles and romantic intrigue.
Kalothia has grown up in the shadows of her kingdom, hidden away in the forested East after her parents were
outed as enemies of the king. Raised in a woodland idyll by a few kindly adult caretakers, Kalothia can hunt
and fish and fend for herself but knows little of the outside world. When assassins attack her home on her
sixteenth birthday, she must flee to the king’s court in the West—a beautiful but lethal nest of poison, plots,
and danger, overseen by an entrenched patriarchy. Guided by the Goddess herself, can Kalothia navigate this
most worldly of places to find her own role? What if she must choose between her country and her heart?
Excitement, romance, and a charismatic heroine shine in this first book set in the unforgettable kingdom of
Galla.
