A brand new epic fantasy romance novel from the Sunday Times bestselling authors. In a kingdom ruled by cruel twin princes, a young healer of magical creatures is pulled into a rebellion that could destroy the world she once called home.

In a kingdom ruled by cruel twin princes, shapeshifters are hunted to extinction and magical creatures are imprisoned in royal menageries for the Crown's amusement. Julianna has spent her life tending those captive beasts, healing creatures she longs to set free. Eight years ago, she dreamed of escaping to join the rebel cause alongside her first love, Raal - until he betrayed her and vanished into the wilds beyond the wall.

When the kingdom's twin princes arrive to lead a royal hunt into forbidden territory, Julianna seizes her chance. By earning the trust of Prince Kellan, she hopes to infiltrate the court and burn down the brutal system from within.

But beyond the wall, the creatures are wilder, the rebellion is closer than she imagined, and dangerous truths about the kingdom - and the beasts it has fought so hard to control - are beginning to surface.

The kingdom fears what it cannot cage. And to set them free, Julianna may have to risk everything.
