In a thrilling fantasy that’s equal parts Percy Jackson and Frozen, Valor attempts the impossible — breaking her sister out of prison.
When Valor is arrested, she couldn’t be happier. Demidova’s prison for criminal children is exactly where she wants to be. Valor’s sister Sasha is serving a life sentence for stealing from the royal family and Valor is going to help her escape... from the inside.
Never mind that no one has escaped the prison in three hundred years. Valor has a master plan and resources most could only dream about. But she didn't count on having to outsmart both the guards and her fellow prisoners. If Valor’s plan is to succeed, she’ll need to make some unlikely allies. And if the plan fails, she and Sasha could end up with fates worse than prison.
This fresh and exciting middle-grade debut effortlessly melds an unforgettable protagonist, a breathless plot, and stunning world-building — and is impossible to put down.
