One of Time magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time! A lush tapestry of magic, romance, and revolución, drawing inspiration from Bolivian politics and history. âA vibrant feast of a book.â â Margaret Rogerson, NYT bestselling author of An Enchantment of Ravens âPure magic.â â Shelby Mahurin, NYT bestselling author of Serpent & Dove âA wholly unique book for the YA shelf.â â Adrienne Young, NYT bestselling author of Sky in the Deep âA spellbinding, vivid debut.â â Rebecca Ross, author of Queen's Rising Ximena is the decoy Condesa, a stand-in for the last remaining Illustrian royal. Her people lost everything when the usurper, Atoc, used an ancient relic to summon ghosts and drive the Illustrians from La Ciudad. Now Ximenaâs motivated by her insatiable thirst for revenge, and her rare ability to spin thread from moonlight. When Atoc demands the real Condesaâs hand in marriage, itâs Ximenaâs duty to go in her stead. She relishes the chance, as Illustrian spies have reported that Atocâs no longer carrying his deadly relic. If Ximena can find it, she can return the true aristócrata to their rightful place. She hunts for the relic, using her weaving ability to hide messages in tapestries for the resistance. But when a masked vigilante, a warm-hearted princesa, and a thoughtful healer challenge Ximena, her mission becomes more complicated. There could be a way to overthrow the usurper without starting another war, but only if Ximena turns her back on revengeâand her Condesa.
