So Ari recruits the help of Thad’s enigmatic new weapons master, Sebastian Vaughn, to teach her how to fight Teague. It was the work of a Wish Granter named Alistair Teague who tricked Thad into wishing away both the safety of his people and his soul in exchange for the crown. And when Thad suddenly starts training Ari to take his place, she realizes that her brother’s ascension to the throne wasn’t fate.
Growing up ignored by the nobility, Ari never wanted to be a proper princess.
And now Thad sits on the throne of a kingdom whose streets are suddenly overrun with violence he can’t stop. The world has turned upside down for Thad and Ari Glavan, the bastard twins of Súndraille’s king. If they fail, they’ll be trapped in Maqbara for good-and the secret Sajda’s been hiding will bury them both. Together, Javan and Sajda have to outwit the vicious warden, outfight the deadly creatures, and outlast the murderous prisoners intent on killing Javan. Working with Sajda might be the only way Javan can escape alive - but she has dangerous secrets. The only person who can help him is Sajda, who has been enslaved by Maqbara’s warden since she was a child, and whose guarded demeanor and powerful right hook keep the prisoners in check. But winning is much harder than acing competitions at school, and soon Javan finds himself beset not just by the terrifying creatures in the arena, but also a band of prisoners allied against him, and even the warden herself.
The only way to gain an audience with the king - and reveal Javan’s identity - is to fight in Maqbara’s yearly tournament. But his eagerly awaited return home is cut short when a mysterious imposter takes his place-and no one believes Javan is the true prince.Īfter barely escaping the imposter’s assassins, Javan is thrown into Maqbara, the kingdom’s most dangerous prison. Javan Najafai, crown prince of Akram, has spent the last ten years at an elite boarding school, far away from his kingdom.
