Your Mother's War

Grace has spent her whole life inside the walls her mother built — cool, orderly, and safe. She doesn't yet know about the prophecy spoken over her at birth, or the choice her mother made long before she was born that shaped everything: her family's exile, her brother's freedom, and her own inherited solitude. When her brother finally takes her past the gates, Grace begins a journey to find out who she really is — and whether she's the daughter a kingdom has been waiting for, or just a girl trying to become her own person.
