With her eighteenth birthday fast approaching, crown princess Josselyn deLure knows it's her duty to choose a husband, but that doesn't mean she has to be happy about it. She'd much rather be practicing her swordplay with her best friend, Edmund, or teasing her straight-laced guard, Alex. Marriage isn't high on her list of priorities.

But when a plot to overthrow the kingdom sends her fleeing for her life, marriage will be the least of her worries as the ancient, celestial magic dwelling beneath her marked skin emerges in the most startling of ways. Will she be strong enough to face the darkness inside and save her kingdom? Or will she crumple under the weight of self-doubt?

Celestial beasts, swoony dances, and a fierce-as-hell warrior princess all mark the exciting first installment of E.P. Stavs's The Shendri Series.

Perfect for fans of Melanie Cellier.
