Neither brave hero nor glamorous villain, she is her own contrary character: a prickly girl carving a place for herself in a world she doesn't believe in, two feet on the ground while she looks toward the sky. I wrote Violet for anyone who feels they only relate to the "unrelatable" characters-the ones who are too cold, too proud, too much and not enough at the same time. It's a story about love and the ways it saves us-or doesn't. It's a story about stories and how they shape history and divinity. This book is a fairytale for those who choose head over heart every time. And as the boundary between hatred and love grows ever thinner with the prince, Violet must untangle a wicked web of deceit in order to save herself and the kingdom-or doom them all. Violet's wits may protect her in the cutthroat court, but they can't change her fate. Violet faces her own choice: Seize an opportunity to gain control of her own destiny, no matter the cost, or give in to the ill-fated attraction that's growing between her and Cyrus. Honesty is for suckers, like the oh-so- not charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to strip Violet of her official role once he's crowned at the end of the summer-unless Violet does something about it.īut when the king asks her to falsely prophesy Cyrus's love story for an upcoming ball, Violet awakens a dreaded curse, one that will end in either damnation or salvation for the kingdom-all depending on the prince’s choice of future bride. Violet is a prophet and a liar, influencing the royal court with her cleverly phrased-and not always true-divinations.
