A contract on her head.
A kingdom on its deathbed.
After barely surviving thieving, bloodthirsty pirates and a harrowing quest at sea to retrieve King Midas's stolen treasure, Kora finds readjusting to palace life just as deadly.
Returning as a cursed princess who has angered Dionysus, Kora’s people have openly turned against her, threatening to overthrow her as heir to the throne. When Dionysus puts out a challenge to kill the girl with the golden touch and burn down her kingdom, it’s not just her future on the throne that is in danger: Kora’s life and entire realm are now on contract.
Kora has no other choice. She sets out to find Dionysus, the very person who is trying to kill her, focusing on his home on the mysterious disappearing island of Jipper.
If Kora wants to save her kingdom and have any chance at reversing her father’s curse, she will have to enter into a deadly game with Dionysus, the greatest trickster the world—or the underworld—has ever seen.
