Acclaimed author Sara B. Larson begins an enchanting new YA fantasy duology with a timeless fairytale feel in an original voice
From the acclaimed author of Defy, a timeless and fantastical tale about the bond between sisters and the powerful magic that could tear them apart

The night my sister was born, the stars died and were reborn in her eyes….

Zuhra and Inara have grown up in the Citadel of the Paladins, an abandoned fortress where legendary magical warriors once lived before disappearing from the world—including their Paladin father the night Inara was born.

On that same night, a massive enchanted hedge grew and imprisoned them within the citadel. Inara inherited their father’s Paladin power; her eyes glow blue and she is able to make plants grow at unbelievable rates, but she has been trapped in her own mind because of a “roar” that drowns everything else out—leaving Zuhra virtually alone with their emotionally broken human mother.

For fifteen years they have lived, trapped in the citadel, with little contact from the outside world…until the day a stranger passes through the hedge, and everything changes.
