Maas and Rebecca Yarros 🗡 - The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel. I've spent my life kneeling-to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king. I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood. But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father's throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.
