Perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Holly Black, this enthralling fantasy adventure follows a teenage girl chosen to be the human sacrifice in a deadly game between three heirs who will do anything for the crown.
Zahru has long dreamed of leaving the kingdom of Orkena and having the kinds of adventures she's only ever heard about in stories. But as a lowly Whisperer, her power to commune with animals means that her place is serving in the royal stables until the day her magic runs dry.
All that changes when the ailing ruler invokes the Crossing. A death-defying race across the desert, in which the first of his heirs to finish-and take the life of a human sacrifice at the journey's end-will ascend to the throne. With all of the kingdom abuzz, Zahru leaps at the chance to change her fate if just for a night by sneaking into the palace for a taste of the revelry. But the minor indiscretion turns into a deadly mistake when she gets caught up in a feud between the heirs and is forced to become the Crossing's human sacrifice.
Now Zahru's only hope for survival hinges on the impossible: somehow figuring out how to overcome the most dangerous people in the world.

ABOUT THAT WORLD-BUILDING: The world of this series is both unique and reminiscent of ancient civilizations. Orkena is brimming with magic, from abilities like pyrokinesis and spells that obligate obedience to runes that provide protection and curses that can damn one's soul. And Natalie has crafted such an evocative setting that captures both the wondrous opulence of royalty and the brutal, unforgiving nature of the desert.
PITCH-PERFECT, ACCESSIBLE VOICE: Natalie's writing is rich and pace-y with a modern voice that evokes more contemporary novels, making this a truly accessible story for any reader-even those who might not necessarily gravitate toward epic fantasies.
WELL-CONNECTED AUTHOR:The Kinder Poison and The Cruelest Mercy are the first books that Natalie has published under her name. But she has been actively building her audience ever since the publication of her first novel years ago under a pseudonym. Along the way, she's also built strong connections with many bestselling fantasy authors, including Stephanie Garber, Renee Ahdieh, Claire Legrand, and Kendare Blake!
