The Half King by Melissa Landers [Paperback]

This scorching fantasy blends the enchantment of Beauty and the Beast with the mystique of The Sandman. Cerise Solon, a second-born daughter, is a failed oracle shamed by her family. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she is sent to serve the cursed Half King, a ruler doomed to vanish entirely at twenty-one. As she aids him in seeking a cure, Cerise uncovers forbidden truths about her origins that grant her immense power but put her life at risk. With her newfound gifts, she may be the key to saving the Half King and restoring balance to the realm—if she can survive those who seek her destruction.
