Sisterhood bonds and courage are tested in the new magical standalone story from the New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes and The Dragon's Promise.


Channi was not born a monster. But then her own father offers her in sacrifice to the Demon Witch, and she is forever changed.

Cursed with a serpent's face, Channi is the exact opposite of her beautiful sister, Vanna -the only person she loves and trusts.

But when a vulgar competition is set up to marry Vanna off to the highest bidder, only Channi will defend her sister from the cruellest of her suitors.

In doing so, she becomes the target of his wrath. To save her Vanna, Channi will face a battle royale, a quest over land and sea, a romance between sworn enemies, and a choice that will strain her heart to its breaking point.

Elizabeth Lim is at the absolute top of her game in this thrilling yet heart-wrenching tale of courage, loyalty and the deep bonds of sisterhood.
