Around Agatha Sea, princesses are poised, magically gifted, and betrothed.

So, when seventeen-year-old Princess Beatriz still fails to secure a betrothal, her parents hold a ball. Forming an alliance could mean the difference between peace and war, but Beatriz doesn’t want just any suitor. She’s in love with her best friend, Prince Lux. Marrying Prince Lux will always be a silly dream as long as she has no magical gift.

Princess Beatriz will do whatever it takes to obtain a touch of magic, including making a deadly oath to go on a quest to Valle de Los Fantasmas. A valley where no one comes out alive.

If she can manage to succeed, Princess Beatriz could have everything she desires and secure peace for her kingdom. If she fails, she’ll lose not only her greatest dream but also her kingdom, and maybe even her own life.

Curses, secrets, and magical powers rule over the kingdoms around the Agata Sea.

When Princess Beatriz falls in love with an enemy prince, her Papá refuses to allow a betrothal unless they can turn it into a treaty.

But even her kingdom’s current alliances sit atop a knife’s point when her brother’s anticipated nuptials don’t transpire. Instead, their allies make secret deals for the promise of magical relics.

Through investigation, she discovers that the same people who prevent the treaty are also the same ones who poison other allied kingdoms. To make matters worse, her best friend and beau keep secrets from her.

Beatriz and her brother take to the sea on a secret mission to expose their hidden enemy and uncover what everyone isn’t saying. What they find will test the limits of their magical abilities and everything they hold dear.

Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Wishtress’ magical redemptive arc, and Encanto‘s Latin vibe.

Seventeen-year-old assassin Cottia is desperate to leave behind the work she’s been forced into.

Her lord offers freedom in exchange for one last hit. The assignment is to start a war by killing a target during the Giddelian prince’s betrothal selection ceremony.

When the prince uncovers her identity, he offers her a new opportunity. Will his invitation grant her freedom from the notorious underlord?

“Fans of no-spice romance with a dash of darker themes will love this book about an assassin changed by the unlikely friendship of a prince who can see beyond a person’s past. The banter, the one-horse moments, and the Latin vibes will keep you turning pages late into the night.”

– C. F. E. Black, author of The Starlit Prince
