“This book was a thrilling, high stakes adventure that had me hooked from the very first page. With pirates of the caribean vibes and a bold, renegade nell style heroine, it’s packed with action, magic and heart. Cornelia is fierce, clever and impossible not to root for, and the story races along with twists and excitement at every turn. An absolute page turner i loved every second!” – NetGalley Reviewer
