Publisher Description
“Murder, desire, and Machiavellian plotting combine in this unflinching page-turner. Revenge and justice have never been so satisfying!” - Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles
“Bold, incisive, and deliciously ruthless. Revenge catharsis at its finest.” - Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Imogen, Obviously
“A gripping exploration of revenge, justice, and the fierce power of feminine rage.” - June Hur, New York Times bestselling author of A Crane Among Wolves
“A thoughtful, powerful, unputdownable adventure!” - Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of So Let Them Burn and This Ends in Embers
"Raughley deftly weaves together information about and critiques of colonialism, power, and racism. The novel’s true strength is Sally’s character development: Arya Stark meets Starr Carter, weaving a web of destruction despite her grief in order to reclaim her dignity. Revenge, murder, and political intrigue will captivate readers." - Kirkus Reviews
"Formidable narrator Ina and her campaign foster drive and dread while the brilliantly rendered, racially diverse supporting cast injects conflict at every turn." - Publishers Weekly
"This has all the drama of a pure vengeance thriller, and Ina is an absolute stellar anti-hero, unrelentingly ruthless and terrifyingly capable." - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
"A vivid and vicious historical revenge thriller" - Booklist
"If you appreciate shows like Shonda Rhimes’ Queen Charlotte or movies like Amma Asante’s Belle, you will fly through the pages of this riveting historical novel." - Essence
"Introduces readers to an incredible true story and broadens it into a powerful tale that readers seeking historical fiction and high-stakes mystery are sure to enjoy." - BookPage (starred review)
