Like many in Kandala, Tessa Cade loathes the king and his younger brother for ignoring the plight of those who cannot afford treatment. Thieves, smugglers, and black marketeers are subject to punishment and execution overseen by the cruel Prince Corrick in his role as the King's Justice. Medicine is allocated to each sector of the kingdom by the decree of King Harristan, but the supply is limited. JThe only effective treatment for the lethal fever that plagues Kandala is a potion derived from the rare Moonflower. Will they follow their instincts to destroy each other? Or will they save the kingdom together. But when an act of unspeakable cruelty brings the royal and the outlaw face to face, the natural enemies are faced with an impossible choice-and a surprising spark. Corrick knows he must play this role convincingly-with a shortage of elixir and threats of rebellion looming ever closer, the King's grip on power is tenuous at best, and Corrick knows his brother is the kingdom's best hope for survival.
In the palace of Kandala, Prince Corrick serves as the King's Justice, meting out vicious punishments and striking fear into the hearts of agitators and outlaws. So every night, she defies the royal edicts and sneaks out, stealing Moonflower petals and leaving the elixir for those in need. A mysterious sickness is ravaging the land and the cure, Moonflower Elixir, is only available for the wealthy. In the Wilds of Kandala, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade has been watching people suffer for too long. A desperate prince.Ī dangerous flirtation. Instant New York Times Bestseller! From New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer comes an electrifying fantasy romance, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Aveyard.
