A Song Of Wraiths And Ruin

An instant New York Times bestseller! The first in a gripping fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore in which a grieving crown princess and a desperate refugee find themselves on a collision course to murder each other despite their growing attraction—from debut author Roseanne A. Brown. This novel is perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Renée Ahdieh, and Sabaa Tahir. Malik sees the Solstasia festival as a chance to escape his war-stricken home and start anew with his sisters in the prosperous desert city of Ziran. When a vengeful spirit abducts his sister Nadia, Malik makes a deadly deal—to kill Karina, Crown Princess of Ziran, for her freedom. Karina, grief-stricken over her mother’s assassination, seeks to resurrect her with ancient magic, which requires obtaining a king’s heart—by offering her hand in marriage to the Solstasia victor. Malik enters the contest, setting them on a path to destroy each other, but attraction and ancient evils threaten to change everything.
