The Power Of Shadows by Abby Geigerman
Princess Estyn was born on the wrong day. She’s not a seasonal enchanter like her brothers; she can’t ignite air, shoot ice, manipulate plants, or command animals. She can barely make it through court functions without getting a splitting headache. The only thing she can do for her kingdom is marry the enchanter who wins her hand. But she wants a life outside of court politics—ideally one filled with mugs of spiced chocolate and books retelling the love story of Day and Night. So as the competition for her hand draws near, she makes plans to run away.
To prepare for her escape, she tests not taking her daily medication. Remarkably, the headaches disappear—but her life gets exponentially more complicated. Shadows tug at her ankles, voices drift through her head, and when it can’t get any worse, the warring kingdom of Alynthia kidnaps her brother.
Estyn knows little of the outside world, but she’d do anything for her brother. So she leaves the only place she’s ever known with a magnetic palace guard she can’t trust. And she allies with Alynthian rebels—including their charismatic leader—in an impossible assassination plot. In this epic journey, Estyn must discern the truth about her kingdom, trust the right people, and conquer a dark and unpredictable magic or lose her brother forever.
