The Rat King

By Aj Skelly

Book Overview

Save the Kingdom. Break the Curse. Don't fall in love.

When Clara Seibert unwittingly humiliates a boy with a limp the first day of her senior year, she doesn't expect him to become one of her closest friends. But when befriending Jakob Ratowitz leads to things she can't explain, circumstances spiral into something much more sinister with Jakob at its heart.

As their friendship deepens, Jakob's bone degeneration condition worsens, and so do the secrets surrounding him. When they're thrust into the Land of Sweets-a magical realm of ancient danger-they must face a harrowing journey, insurmountable odds, and a growing attraction that could have deadly consequences.

Worst of all is a vengeful queen from Jakob's past who will stop at nothing to see Jakob and everything he loves destroyed. With time running out and a kingdom at stake, can Jakob and Clara save the endangered realm and each other? Or will the Rat Queen's curse descend on the Land of Sweets forever?
