In a world where women have no rights, sisters Serina and Nomi Tessaro face two very different fates: one in the palace, the other in prison.

Serina has been groomed her whole life to become a Grace - someone to stand by the heir to the throne as a shining, subjugated example of the perfect woman. But when her headstrong and rebellious younger sister, Nomi, catches the heir's eye, it's Serina who takes the fall for the dangerous secret that Nomi has been hiding.

Now trapped in a life she never wanted, Nomi has only one way to save Serina: surrender to her role as a Grace until she can use her position to release her sister. This is easier said than done. A traitor walks the halls of the palace, and deception lurks in every corner. But Serina is running out of time, imprisoned on an island where she must fight to the death to survive and one wrong move could cost her everything.

"A book was a dangerous thing to have"

Ainda bem que eu sou do tipo de leitora que não lê sinopses, pois se eu o tivesse feito certamente não teria me surpreendido tanto com este livro incrível.
Confesso que o subestimei: acreditei estar lendo um livro leve (que, apesar de ser taxado como fantasia, não tem um pingo de magia), focado em duas irmãs, mas ele não tem nada de leve, com exceção da escrita, que é bem fluida. Adorei, do início ao fim.
