(Book - Regular Print)

"A damsel in distress takes on the dragon herself in this epic twist on classic fantasy-a groundbreaking collaboration between New York Times bestselling author Evelyn Skye and the team behind the upcoming Netflix film Damsel, starring Millie Bobby Brown"--,Provided by publisher.

Growing up in the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, Elodie's deepest wish was to help her people survive each winter. When a representative from a rich, reclusive kingdom offers her family enough wealth to save Inophe in exchange for Elodie's hand in marriage, she accepts. Swept away to the glistening kingdom of Aurea, Elodie undertakes the ritual to become an betrothed to Prince Henry. But cracks appear in the kingdom's veneer: a young woman appears and vanishes from the castle tower; a parade of torches weaving through the mountains; markings left behind in a mysterious "V." Aurea's prosperity has a heavy cost: each harvest season, the kingdom sacrifices its princesses to a hungry dragon. And Elodie is the next sacrifice. -- adapted from jacket
