Fans of Sabaa Tahir and Tomi Adeyemi won't want to miss this instant
New York Times bestselling fantasy from breakout YA sensation Jordan
Ifueko!
Nothing is more important than loyalty. But what if you've sworn to
protect the one you were born to destroy?
Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in
isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady.
The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to
compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince's
Council of 11. If she's picked, she'll be joined with the other Council
members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood. That closeness is
irresistible to Tarisai, who has always wanted to belong somewhere. But
The Lady has other ideas, including a magical wish that Tarisai is
compelled to obey: Kill the Crown Prince once she gains his trust.
Tarisai won't stand by and become someone's pawn--but is she strong
enough to choose a different path for herself? With extraordinary
world-building and breathtaking prose, Raybearer is the story of
loyalty, fate, and the lengths we're willing to go for the ones we love.
