Description
Return to the world of TikTok sensation, TO KILL A KINGDOM for a dark and romantic fantasy adventure!
In this Rapunzel-inspired fantasy, a young witch, groomed to steal souls for an immortal king, meets the reckless, rebellious boy to whom her fate is tied.
For sixteen years, Selestra has been trapped in her tower on the Floating Mountain, preparing to take her mother's place as the King's Witch, who foretells deaths in the Festival of Predictions. Outrunning your fate earns a wish and the chance to steal the King's immortality. But die and your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.
A soldier in the King's army, Nox is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but, driven by revenge, he is determined to steal the King's immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra.
Yet when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, their fates become entwined, and death seeks to take both their souls. Only by working together can they survive long enough to escape the dark fate and the immortal King that now hunts them.
'Princess of Souls sucked me in from the very first sentence.' Tricia Levenseller, author of The Shadows Between Us
'Glistening with dark magic.' Chloe Gong, author of These Violent Delights
'A decadently dark tale of witches, fate and defying death.' Ciannon Smart, author of Witches Steeped in Gold
Be prepared for a feast of storytelling, featuring breathtaking journeys, nail-biting battles and powerful magic.
