The Secret Gift

How does the evil queen in every fairytale become the villain? What if she's just an innocent girl with a dangerous shape-shifting ability that everyone fears, but it's too tempting not to use... Jezebel is forced to keep her Gift secret or risk having her ability severed, stolen from her completely. Despite the danger, part of her is desperate to embrace her power. When Jezebel's friends discover a portal to the human world, she follows them in, unable to resist the temptation to explore her gift where no one will see. Except someone does. Someone Jezebel thought she could trust. His betrayal comes in whispers at first. But all too quickly, those whispers become demands. And he'll stop at nothing-not even blackmail-to use Jezebel's power for himself. One dark decision leads to another, until Jezebel stands to lose something she can't live without-either her freedom, or her innocence. THE QUEEN'S RISE series is inspired by your favorite fairy tale villains in Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast. If you love fairytale retellings like The Lunar Chronicles and supernatural abilities like the Graceling series, then you'll love the Queen's Rise series! Reader note: this omnibus is a bind up of three full-length YA Fantasy novels in The Queen's Rise series (The Secret Gift, The Secret Shadow, and The Secret Curse). The story is set in the same universe as The Stolen Kingdom series and tells the origin story of a villain we meet briefly there-but you do NOT have to read one series before the other. They both stand on their own.
