*A 2019 Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book*
""Listeners will fall under the spell of the prose and narration
and won't wake up until the last word is spoken—and maybe not even then.
Highly recommended.""—Erin Entrada Kelly, 2018 Newbery Medalist and New
York Times bestselling author
A dark, twisted, unforgettable fairy tale from
Elana K. Arnold, author of the National Book Award finalist What Girls
Are Made Of
The
rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: When the king dies, his
son the prince must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and
rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.
When
Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, she knows none of this. She has no
memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon or what horrors she
faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome young man, the story he tells
of her rescue, and her destiny of sitting on a throne beside him. It’s all like
a dream, like something from a fairy tale.
As
Ama follows Emory to the kingdom of Harding, however, she discovers that not
all is as it seems. There is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels
than anyone knows, and the greatest threats may not be behind her, but around
her, now, and closing in.
This novel is ultimately about gaslighting. Many people (not just women) could find themselves in the situation of this Damsel & with a bit of brain power, one can clearly understand how kings, dragons, castles, and so on can easily translate to our modern & mundane lives. People silently suffer decades of abuse and manipulation so well-crafted that it takes too long for the victim to realize what is happening to them & do something about it before every bit of their self-confidence & self-worth is carved away until they might no longer recognize themselves.
I highly recommend this book to every adult.
That being said, please be aware of several trigger topics, especially sexual assault/abuse. This isn't a book for children or anyone who could be triggered by such topics.

Some interesting ideas, though!
Painfully over-acted and predictable
