Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle. But although she s engaged to the prince, Twylla isn t exactly a member of the court. She s the executioner. As the Goddess embodied, Twylla instantly kills anyone she touches. Each month she s taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love a girl with murder in her veins. Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to Twylla s fatal touch, avoids her company. But then a new guard arrives, a boy whose easy smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the others, he s able to look past Twylla s executioner robes and see the girl, not the Goddess. Yet Twylla s been promised to the prince, and knows what happens to people who cross the queen. However, a treasonous secret is the least of Twylla s problems. The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies, a plan that requires a stomach-churning, unthinkable sacrifice. Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favour of a doomed love? Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass series, A Witch In Winter or Philippa Gregory Lush, beautifully written debut novel Collect them all; The Sleeping Prince and The Scarecrow Queen
