The Secret Gift

By Bethany Atazadeh

What if the evil queen in your favorite fairy tale wasn't born wicked... she was made that way?

Jezebel is a seventeen-year-old girl with a secret: a dangerous shapeshifting ability that breaks every law in the realm of Jinn. If it's discovered, her gift will be severed... and severance always ends in death.

When a hidden portal leads her into the human world, Jezebel seizes the chance to test her new power. But someone sees. Someone she trusted.

At first, his betrayal comes in whispers. Then come the threats, the blackmail, and the slow erosion of everything Jezebel believed. Piece by piece, she begins to lose the girl she used to be.

To survive, she'll have to become the very thing they always feared...

In a gripping tale of betrayal and self-discovery, The Queen's Rise series brings a captivating twist to classic fairy tales like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast... showing how even the darkest queens aren't the villains in their own story.

If you love fairytale retellings like The Lunar Chronicles and supernatural abilities like the Graceling series, then you'll love the Queen's Rise series
