But when a slip of the tongue lands her in prison with a mountain of straw, even she has to admit that she can't transmute straw into gold. With the threat of a death sentence hanging over her, she's forced to make a deal with a conniving magician. Sepha escapes with her life - but at a cost: she has one year to alchemically create a body for the magician, or else her firstborn child will be his. As Sepha's deadline approaches, she uncovers a deadly secret. How can she save her country when the body she owes the magician will be used to destroy it?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sepha's transformation from meek and bullied to determined and driven is remarkable, and she plays against a cast of richly drawn characters and a twisting suspenseful plot." --<i>Booklist</i><br><br>"This complex fantasy hits the ground running and never slows down, with complicated twists, turns, and discoveries in every chapter.Engaging . . . a successful debut." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Samantha Vitale </b>has an insatiable hunger for two things: big challenges and amazing stories.
