At seventeen, sheтАЩs forced to keep it secret or risk having her ability severed, stolen from her completely. Despite the danger, a part of her is desperate to embrace her power.
When Jezebel's friends discover a portal to the human world, she follows them into the strange place, unable to resist the temptation to explore her gift where no one will see.
Except someone does. Someone Jezebel thought she could trust.
His betrayal comes in whispers at first. But all too quickly, those whispers become demands. And heтАЩll stop at nothingтАФnot even blackmailтАФto use JezebelтАЩs power for himself.
One dark decision leads to another, until Jezebel stands to lose something she canтАЩt live withoutтАФeither her freedom, or her innocence.
THE SECRET GIFT is the first book in THE QUEEN'S RISE series, inspired by your favorite fairy tale villains in Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast. ItтАЩs a spin-off of The Stolen Kingdom series, but can also be read on its own. Over a century before Queen Jezebel crosses paths with Arie, Rena, and Nesrin, sheтАЩs just an innocent Jinni girlтАж who was betrayed.
If you love fairytale retellings like The Lunar Chronicles and supernatural abilities like the Graceling series, then youтАЩll love the QueenтАЩs Rise series!
2nd edition, previously published September 2021.
