Description

Knives Out meets The Inheritance Games with magic in this standalone supernatural thriller by Sarah Henning: thirteen witches, a locked-room murder, and two non-magical sisters trapped in a deadly whodunit.

Ruby and her sister, Wren, are normal, middle-class Colorado high school students working a summer job at the local Renaissance Fest to supplement their meager college savings.

So when an eccentric old lady asks them to impersonate her long-absent grandchildren at a fancy dinner party at the jaw-dropping rate of two grand--each--for a single night... Wren insists it's a no-brainer. Make some cash, have some fun, do a good deed.

But less than an hour into the evening at the mysterious Hegemony Manor, Ruby is sure she must have lost her mind to have agreed to this.

The hostess is dead, the gates are locked, and a magical curse ensures no one can leave until they solve both her murder and the riddles she left behind--in just three days. Because everyone else at this party is a powerful witch. And if the witches realize Ruby and Wren are imposters? The sisters won't make it out of Hegemony Manor alive.

Editorial Reviews

"[A] propulsive drama, giving tantalizing insight into contrasting pieces of the puzzle and the complicated web of relationships between the devious and compellingly wrought cast."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Pure entertainment"--Booklist

"Offers a compelling take on the classic locked-room mystery. The plot unfolds at a measured pace, and well-developed clues and red herrings keep readers guessing until the very end.... A well-crafted, fantastical thriller."--Kirkus Reviews

"A slick, enjoyable murder mystery with action, romance, and a magical inheritance on the line."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Praise for The Princess Will Save You

"The Princess Will Save You is everything we love about YA fantasy, complete with first love, sweeping adventure, and a fierce heroine who holds her own. There's something for everyone in this book."--Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of The Sky in the Deep

"Full of inconceivable wit, daring adventure, and cunning political machinations...It's as if Sarah Henning looked into my soul that yearned for a book like The Princess Bride and said--as you wish. And yes, this is a kissing book."--Ashley Poston, author of Heart of Iron

"An action-packed adventure with a fierce heroine that is sure to enthrall! Sarah Henning has created a fantasy narrative that weaves together love and betrayal, pirates and swordplay. Sure to please anyone who grew up loving tales of princesses."--Emily Lloyd-Jones, author of The Bone Houses

"Fantasy and romance fans alike will gobble up this energetic story."--School Library Journal
