Five years before the start of the novel, Princess Calla Tuoleimi of Talin murdered her own parents and went into hiding. Now, as Talin holds its annual gladiatorial-style games in the twin cities of San-Er, Calla reappears to finish what she's started: kill the king, her uncle, and bring an end to inequality and poverty. Prince August Shenzhi, her cousin, aids her with this treasonous plan, but to complete it, she must first win the tournament. The inhabitants of Talin can jump between bodies at will, and royal exile Anton Makusa hopes to use this trick to win the games himself and put the prize toward keeping his comatose lover alive. As the games unfold, Calla and Anton strike an unlikely alliance that blossoms into a love affair-but only one can win, and to become victor, the star-crossed lovers will have to break their bond. Though this outing owes debts to both Shakespeare and The Hunger Games, the intricate magic system feels entirely fresh. Gong keeps the pages flying with pulse-pounding action, tension, and intrigue, creating an adventure that will linger in readers' minds long after the last page. $c Provided by publisher. 650 $a Contests 650 $a Man-woman relationships 650 $a Imaginary places 650 $a Body swapping 650 $a Kings and rulers 650 $a Princesses 650 $a Magic 650 $a Large type books 650 $a Fantasy fiction 650 $a Romance fiction 650 $a Epic fiction 941 $a 7 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011316.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20231227014749.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025015152.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20231018031557.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012532.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230902010657.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20230819010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AF81312E3E5511EE9D75128132ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
