![]() Marra is thirty years old, though she often feels a bit younger, but I’ll give her some grace: she got sent to a convent at fifteen and prior to that she was a sheltered princess her naivete isn’t exactly her fault. ![]() There’s simply no choice: Marra must kill her sister’s husband. But what is Marra, a useless, minor royal with no real power or influence able to do? Her comfort and ability to ignore the outside politics comes with a price: she is devastated to learn that Prince Vorling, her sister’s husband, is abusive and controlling, and her kingdom’s safety is balanced on his knifepoint. Marra is shipped off to a convent to avoid her having any children that may try to lay claim to their throne, and she spends her next fifteen years doing honest, hard work with the nuns of Our Lady of Grackle. Luckily her oldest sister is the one married off-and then her next-oldest sibling (to the same man!) after their sister dies in a tragic accident. ![]() ![]() Marra is the youngest of three princesses in her royal family’s modest kingdom, and if you ask her, she isn’t really suited for the royal life. It’s not doing the book inside justice (although I’ve seen images of the inside of the hardcover book and it’s much cuter, but alas I am more of an e-book gal). This feels very YA, even though this is an adult book, and not something I’d really look at twice. Bonus Factors: Found Family, Loyal Pets, Magic ![]()
