Kalothia has grown up in the shadows of her kingdom, hidden away in the forested East after her parents were outed as enemies of the king. Raised in a woodland idyll by a few kindly adult caretakers, Kalothia can hunt and fish and fend for herself but knows little of the outside world. When assassins attack her home on her sixteenth birthday, she must flee to the king's court in the West--a beautiful but lethal nest of poison, plots, and danger, overseen by an entrenched patriarchy. Guided by the Goddess herself, can Kalothia navigate this most worldly of places to find her own role? What if she must choose between her country and her heart? Excitement, romance, and a charismatic heroine shine in this first book set in the unforgettable kingdom of Galla. 650 0 $a Kings and rulers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imaginary places $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Courts and courtiers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Africans $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Princesses $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Teenagers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Heroes $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Goddesses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Girls, Black $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Young adult fiction. 655 0 $a Young adult fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030004.0 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20240224010459.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20240103011234.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231103010229.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20231102012356.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231005010513.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231004010519.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231003012926.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5357D0A861B211EE96A426B62DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
