The female heirs of two opposing families must duel for guardianship of the land in this stunning fantasy
adventure debut!
Merriment Feast's life is one constant party, complete with dazzling gowns and delicious pastries. Well, except
for her aunt's physically grueling training. Merri believes it's her responsibility to protect her family's traditions
and the power they've held for generations.
Rue Famine knows that only Feasts benefit from Feast rule. As the heir of House Famine, she spends her days
studying potion-making in an enormous, dusty library and learning how to use her magic to help others.
Custom dictates that the heirs of Feast and Famine must duel on their thirteenth birthday. Only one family can
rule the land of Fauret, and Merri and Rue have been raised as rivals.
But as the contest draws near and dangers escalate, their true enemy may be a shared one…
