Enter a world of fae, dragons, and magic in this debut novel by Jo Fischer

Enter a world of fae, dragons, and magic in this spicy, sapphic retelling of a classic fairytale about a lost princess, trapped in her tower by powerful magic, and the devilish thief who might be brave enough to scale the thorny walls around her heart.

​

In a kingdom built on lies, a tower hides the truth—and a thief is about to uncover it all.

River Cloudborne had always lived on borrowed time. A thief with a devil-may-care smile and a penchant for trouble, she’s spent three years clawing her way through the kings deadly service to earn her freedom.

​

But when a twist of fate leads her to the ruins of a forgotten castle, River stumbles upon the one secret King Theodric would give anything to possess - the girl she has pined after for a decade.

​

Trapped in a tower bound by magic older than the Kingdom itself, Aurelia is as resilient as she is beautiful. She’s determined to unlock the spell containing her and her magic, no matter the cost.

​

But as shadows rise and whispers of rebellion sweep through the land, Aurelia might be the key to more than River’s freedom— Aurelia could be the tether that drags her out of the darkness.

​

Trust is a risk River has never been willing to take. But this time, her heart may not give her a choice.
