Tarisai has grown up closed off from the outside world. She idolizes her mother, The Lady, and will follow whatever orders are given. When Tarisai’s mother shows her a picture of a boy to kill, she doesn’t question granting that wish. Tarisai is whisked away to the palace to compete for one spot among the eleven that will become the Crown Prince Dayo’s Council. However, Dayo--one of the first people to ever show her true kindness--is the one she’s bound by magic to kill. Tarisai must learn how to break free of this curse in order to protect those she loves. Following her heart proves to be the hardest thing Tarisai has ever had to do. (Georgia Peach Book Award, 2022) |
