- The New York Times Bestseller!
- “Absolutely riveting.” —Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Passenger
- This vividly rendered novel reads like HBO’s Game of Thrones . . . if it were set in the Ottoman Empire. Ambitious in scope and intimate in execution, the story’s atmospheric setting is rife with political intrigue, with a deftly plotted narrative driven by fiercely passionate characters and a fearsome heroine. Fans of Victoria Aveyard’s THE RED QUEEN, Kristin Cashore’s GRACELING, and Sabaa Tahir’s AN EMBER IN THE ASHES won’t want to miss this visceral, immersive, and mesmerizing novel, the first in a trilogy.
- NO ONE EXPECTS A PRINCESS TO BE BRUTAL. And Lada Dragwlya likes it that way. Ever since she and her gentle younger brother, Radu, were wrenched from their homeland of Wallachia and abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman courts, Lada has known that being ruthless is the key to survival. She and Radu are doomed to act as pawns in a vicious game, an unseen sword hovering over their every move. For the lineage that makes them special also makes them targets.

“I was going to start off by saying And I Darken was not the type of book I usually go for. Historical fiction has never been my favorite, but I need to reevaluate that after reading this and the His Fair Assassin books. Maybe I just like YA historical fiction with incredibly kick ass heroines? That’s probably it! And I Darken fits that description perfectly.” By Lori
“Getting to read about a place and time that I’ve never read about before is SUCH a treat. The early 15th century Ottoman Empire was completely new to me, and tying in the legend of Vlad the Impaler with a gender-bent twist was pretty irresistible.” By Ms. Amanda Lynn Reid
