A TIME Magazine Best YA Book of All Time A Stonewall Honor Book A Reese's Book Club YA Pick Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it's okay -- Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor. But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down . . . until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen. There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington. The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. She's smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. But Mack is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams . . . or make them come true?

Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
Leah never understood why her mom made them move so much. Or why her family of freaks can extend vines from their wrists. After getting caught shoplifting, again, Leah is forced to start over. But her unlikely new friends bring her world crashing down. They're like her. And they aren't ... human. Digging deeper, Leah uncovers the secrets her mom kept from her all these years. Her dad didn't die in a tragic accident. He was a king, murdered by his sister for his throne. Pregnant with Leah, her mom fled the besieged palace for the human world. Driven by vengeance, Leah plans to assassinate the queen who destroyed her family and her future. The key to her plan is a boy with a crush on her and connections to the palace. He may be handsome and sweet, but Leah's objective is clear: Date him. Get an invite to his brother's wedding, which the queen will be attending. Kill the queen. But the plan does not go off without a hitch. Caught between her quest for vengeance and her growing feelings for her boyfriend, Leah must decide her new future, unravel the dark legacy of her lineage, and confront the true cost of her choices. In this young adult fantasy duology, secrets abound, and betrayal is all but inevitable; love and revenge blur, and a young woman learns the true meaning of redemption. This omnibus includes both books in The Heir's Duology: Book 1—The Heir of Exile (Book 4 in the Seeder Wars series) Book 2—Soren's Legacy (Book 5 in the Seeder Wars series) Bonus scenes also included: Story 1.5—To Love a Monster: A Villain's Love Story Featuring illustrations, and annotations by the author.

It can be read as a standalone, though it's recommended to read it after the central trilogy. Either experience gives you a unique reader experience! *The Heir's Duology contains major spoilers for the Seeder Wars trilogy.
