From the author of The Star-Touched Queen comes a beautiful lush
fantasy, Roshani Chokshi's A Crown of Wishes.
Gauri, the princess of Bharata, has been taken as a prisoner of war by
her kingdom's enemies. Faced with a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has
nothing left to lose. Hope unexpectedly comes in the form of Vikram, the
cunning prince of a neighboring land and her sworn enemy kingdom.
Unsatisfied with becoming a mere puppet king, Vikram offers Gauri a
chance to win back her kingdom in exchange for her battle prowess.
Together, they'll have to set aside their differences and team up to win
the Tournament of Wishes - a competition held in a mythical city where
the Lord of Wealth promises a wish to the victor.
Reaching the tournament is just the beginning. Once they arrive, danger
takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans and mischievous story birds, a
feast of fears and twisted fairy revels.
Every which way they turn new trials will test their wit and strength.
But what Gauri and Vikram will soon discover is that there's nothing
more dangerous than what they most desire.
