THE ENCANTO'S DAUGHTER
A fairy princess must prove herself worthy of the throne in this romantic fantasy inspired by Philippine mythology, the first in a new duet by #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz.
A young queen. A dubious ally. An ancient curse.
MJ Rodriguez has spent her life on the road with her mother, hoping to settle down - and lugging a heavy secret. MJ isn't entirely human. She's also an Encanto, a fairy princess of a realm unknown to humankind called Biringan. After her most recent move, MJ learns her father, King Vivencio of the Summer Court, has died. Now MJ must flee her home again, this time to claim her place as her father's rightful heir.
In wondrous Biringan, the road to the throne is treacherous. MJ must navigate a backstabbing fairy court and retrace the last footsteps of her father, whose sudden death reeks of murder. Upon meeting Lucas, the handsome knight of the feared Winter Court, MJ finds an unlikely ally . . . and maybe forbidden love. But can she open her heart and shield herself from danger? And when a centuries-old curse begins to wipe out creatures across Biringan, can MJ find the sorceress behind the attacks and the ancient magic needed to stop her?
As with Melissa de la Cruz's last fantasy duology (The Queen's Assassin), this is fantasy that is accessible and perfect for younger teens or readers who are new to the genre. With a Filipina heroine at the center of the story, this is Melissa paying homage to her Filipino culture. Come for the fantasy, stay for the romance! Romance fantasy is a buzz word these days and readers will love the enemies-to-allies-to-lovers element of this story.
Melissa de la Cruz is the #1 New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly internationally bestselling author of many critically acclaimed books for readers of all ages, including the Blue Bloods series, the Queen's Secret duet, Disney's Descendants novels, and the Summer on East End series. Her books have sold over eight million copies, and the Witches of East End series became an hour-long television drama on the Lifetime network. She lives in Los Angeles.
