Building on homages to Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jane Austen’s Emma and the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, Hannah West makes a spectacular and wholly original debut. Now enemies, Bristal must summon all that she has learned and don disguises to unite the kingdoms in defeating Tamarice. There are cursed princesses to protect, royal alliances to forge and fierce monsters to battle-all with the hope of preserving peace. Tamarice soon rejects an elicromancer’s duty to keep the peace among nations by cursing Volarre’s Princess Rosamund with dark magic in a fate-binding ritual, thereby putting the three kingdoms of Nissera in danger. Together, Bristal and Brack must guard the three kingdoms of Nissera against Tamarice’s black elicromancy. Tamarice is plotting a quest to overthrow the realm’s nobility and take charge herself. Bristal joins the ranks of Brack and Tamarice without knowing that one of them has a dark secret. Elicromancers are an ancient breed of immortal people, but only two remain in Nissera after a bloody civil war.
Bristal, a sixteen-year-old kitchen maid, lands in a fairy tale gone wrong when she discovers she has elicromancer magic in her blood.
