A nominee for the 17th Annual Whitney Awards in the YA Fantasy category.
Penny Barclay lives by two rules: protect her family's ancient magic, and never let her heart betray her.
As heir to the Duchy of Eleusion and a powerful plant mage, Penny knows the weight of expectation. But rebellion is rising-one that seeks to enslave every mage in Olympia-and her sheltered life is no longer an option.
When the Crown's spy, Lou, arrives to hunt the rebels' mysterious leader, Penny sees both a threat and an opportunity. Seizing her chance to prove herself, she demands a place at his side, stepping into a world of secrets, shadows, and dangerous choices-where loyalty costs lives, trusting him may cost more, and freedom has a price.
To save her people, Penny must risk everything she's been taught to protect. But in the fight against betrayal and tyranny, even a single forbidden choice-of heart or loyalty-could change her destiny forever.
Allison Anderson shines in her debut YA Romantasy. An imaginative retelling of Hades and Persephone, filled with slow-burn romance, a world brimming with magic, and a girl who's journey is only just beginning. Perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer, Holly Black, and Kristin Cashore.
I love a good re-imagining of ancient myths and this debut author packs a punch! It has everything I look for in a story, strong and fascinating characters to root for, creative world building, suspense, a mysterious villain, and just enough romance to keep me wanting more.-Jeff Wheeler, Wall Street Journal Bestselling author
