By day, she catalogs the fae relics of her conquered kingdom. But by night, she reclaims the artefacts in secret to restore magic to her dying land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil she finds the long lost key to cross the River into the fae world and save her people. But a ruthless realm awaits her there, ruled by monsters wearing beautiful skin—especially the cold-eyed captain who sees through her lies. But even he isn’t what he seems—under the guise of upholding a cruel regime, he works to overthrow it from the inside. To succeed, he needs the same lost relic Yaseema seeks: the crown of an ancient Fae Queen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith magic that is a mystery even to her, Yaseema can help him find the crown and save his family from a fate worse than death. Unless she steals it first to help her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo survive, they must work together to outwit ancient curses, battle creatures born of nightmares, and find a power that could resurrect their worlds. But as secrets unravel and loyalties blur, they face the greatest danger of all: losing their heart to each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for fans of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cruel Prince\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mummy\u003c\/i\u003e, this thrilling start to a new fantasy duology bursts with dangerous romance, heart-stopping twists, and a heroine who dares to steal back her future.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081263693993,"sku":"9781250878694","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/3470\/8393\/files\/therivershebecame.jpg?v=1778610953","url":"https:\/\/steamylitbookstore.com\/products\/the-river-she-became-by-emily-varga","provider":"Steamy Lit Romance Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
