Violet is a prophet and a liar, influencing the royal court with her cleverly phrased—and not always true—divinations. Honesty is for suckers, like the oh-so-not charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to strip Violet of her official role once he’s crowned at the end of the summer—unless Violet does something about it. But when the king asks her to falsely prophesy Cyrus’s love story for an upcoming ball, Violet awakens a dreaded curse, one that will end in either damnation or salvation for the kingdom—all depending on the prince’s choice of future bride. Violet faces her own choice: Seize an opportunity to gain control of her own destiny, no matter the cost, or give in to the ill-fated attraction that’s growing between her and Cyrus. Violet’s wits may protect her in the cutthroat court, but they can’t change her fate. And as the boundary between hatred and love grows ever thinner with the prince, Violet must untangle a wicked web of deceit in order to save herself and the kingdom—or doom them all. A darkly enchanting fantasy debut about a morally gray witch, a cursed prince, and a prophecy that ignites their fate-twisted destinies—perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and Serpent & Dove.

SIEMPRE HAY QUE PAGAR UN PRECIO POR DESAFIAR AL DESTINO Violeta es una profeta y una mentirosa, que influye en la corte real con sus ingeniosas (y no siempre ciertas) divagaciones. La honestidad es para los necios, como el no tan encantador príncipe Cyrus, que planea despojar a Violeta de su papel oficial una vez que se lleve a cabo su coronación a finales de verano, a menos que Violeta haga algo al respecto. Pero cuando el rey le pide que profetice falsamente la historia de amor de Cyrus para el próximo baile, Violeta despierta una temida maldición que acabará condenando o salvando al reino, dependiendo de la elección de la futura novia del príncipe. Violeta se enfrenta a su propia decisión: aprovechar la oportunidad de ganar el control de su propio destino, sin importar el costo, o ceder ante la desafortunada atracción que está creciendo entre ella y Cyrus. El ingenio de Violeta puede protegerla en la corte despiadada, pero no puede cambiar su destino. Y a medida que la frontera entre el odio y el amor con el príncipe se hace cada vez más tenue, Violeta deberá desenredar una perversa red de engaños para salvarse a sí misma y al reino, o condenarlos a todos.
