Ana's family was one of seven that ruled before they were picked off one by one. Now, with assassins after her, Ana could be next. With the help of a dazzling array of friends and enemies, Ana must discover her magical "gift"… or risk being named an imposter. In this world of breathtaking beauty, charm, and magic, will Ana be able to tell friend from foe, reveal her would-be assassin, and take the crown? Travel to a glittering, dangerous world with political alliances and ballgowns, perfect for fans of Red Queen and The Selection.
