A young healer with water powers is conscripted to serve in the Capital during the "Calling of the Favored," a competition during which the King will choose his bride. Her sympathies--and her friends--are with the Undoing, a band of anarchists intent on overthrowing the monarchy. When she meets the fire-wielding Ash King, all she can think about is removing him from power, by any means necessary . . . until his unexpected attraction to her complicates everything. This enemies-to-lovers, hate-to-love romance is basically The Hunger Games (Collins) crossed with The Selection (Cass). Fans of C. N. Crawford, Sarah J. Maas, Nisha J. Tuli, and Jennifer L. Armentrout will enjoy this book! Contains mature themes. Trigger and content warnings are available on the author's website.
