DESCRIPTION
An outcast prince. A captive healer. A single night that changes their destinies.
She lives a nightmare.
As a Mender, Renna is captive to an endless cycle of receiving and recovering from the injuries of others—a cycle that led her mother to an early grave. When her father becomes deathly ill, Renna is desperate to save her only remaining family. Even if it means allying with criminals and taking an illegal mission into the royal palace on the night of their greatest ball.
He’s haunted by dreams.
Unable to be Mended, Prince Jaric’s existence is a curse to his family’s façade of health and security. Marrying him off at the ball and sending him to a distant dukedom is the royal solution—but Jaric has his own plans. For years he’s dreamed of a young woman, a strong-hearted Mender he would give everything for. When she arrives the night of his betrothal, he’s determined to discover her true identity.
Met by midnight, their fates are entwined.
While escape seems the only answer, powerful forces conspire to keep Renna and Jaric within their cages. Forces that undermine the foundations of the kingdom itself—and threaten any hope of a future together.
Enjoy a twisty YA story featuring Cinderella in an original fantasy world with a dystopian angle and a sweet YA romance. Also features fresh world building, snarky sidekick characters, shockingly useful adults, lyrical poetry, and an adorable labradoodle.
Sweet, swoony romance (kissing only), mild non-graphic violence, and zero language (only in-world exclamations). Some dystopian elements with oppression of healers for the "common good."
Note: Renna does not like shoes - even those covered with fur. She happily leaves that slipper behind.
