Delightful and imaginative storyteller Sarah J. Maas, #1 New York Times bestselling author.
In Zalindov, the only person you can trust is yourself. 17-year-old Kiva Meridan is a survivor. For ten years, she has worked as a healer in the indifferent death prison, Zalindov, making herself irreplaceable. She relies on messages of hope from her family, with one goal: to stay alive.
When one day the notorious Rebel Queen arrives at the prison on the brink of death, Kiva receives a new message: Don't let her die. They are coming.
The queen is sentenced to Trial by Ordeal: a series of elemental challenges against the hardships of air, fire, water, and earth, assigned only to the most dangerous criminals. Realizing that the ailing queen has little chance of surviving the Trials, Kiva volunteers to take her place. If she succeeds, both she and the queen will gain their freedom.
But no one has ever survived. With an incurable epidemic sweeping Zalindov, a mysterious new inmate fighting for Kiva's heart, and a rebellion in the prison brewing, Kiva cannot escape the terrifying feeling that her trials have only just begun.
From bestselling Australian author Lynette Noni comes a masterful and action-packed YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir.
