Publisher's Synopsis
With her eighteenth birthday fast approaching, crown princess Josselyn deLure knows it's her duty to choose a husband, but that doesn't mean she has to be happy about it. She'd much rather be practicing her swordplay with her best friend, Edmund, or teasing her straight-laced guard, Alex. Marriage isn't exactly high on her list of priorities. But Josselyn isn't your typical princess, and this isn't your typical fairy tale story.
When a plot to overthrow the kingdom sends her fleeing for her life, Josselyn will discover just how different she truly is as the ancient, celestial magic dwelling beneath her marked skin emerges in the most startling of ways. Will she be strong enough to face the darkness there and save her kingdom? Or will she crumple under the weight of self-doubt? Celestial beasts, steamy dances, and a fierce-as-hell warrior princess all mark the exciting first installment of E.P. Stavs's The Shendri Series.Perfect for fans of Melanie Cellier "An uplifting power-of-the-female crux with convincing sexual tension, this story had me on the edge. I read it in two nights! I can't wait for the next book in the series... this book makes me want to kick ass and fall in love. All at once." - Amazon Reviewer"
