**Brought to you by Penguin. THIS PRINCESS IS GOING TO SAVE HERSELF Discover a world of forbidden magic, court politics and sacrifice in this enchanting new myth retelling, perfect for fans of Katherine Arden and Naomi Novik.** The small, land-locked nation of Corfuia is known for its strict customs, historic battles and mountainous borders. And for its dragons. On the first day of Spring each year, a young woman chosen by lot from the towns and villages is sacrificed to the dragons in a legendary treaty known as the Maiden Sacrifice. As spring approaches, and the Maiden Sacrifice with it, the fates of three women are called into question. Between them, Maelle, Cressyda and Alinore hold the key to breaking free of the centuries-old treaty that hangs over Corfuia. But first, they must face the dragons...
