I originally pre-ordered this book right at the start of the year after finding out that it is a sapphic prince and the pauper retelling with a French inspired fantasy world (also just look at that cover!), because, honestly, who doesn’t want that in a book? But after trying to read it earlier in the year and not getting through the first few pages (thanks fantasy reading slump) I put it down.

But society dictates a noble lady cannot perform such gruesome work.Īnnette Boucher, overlooked and overworked by her family, wants more from life than her humble beginnings and is desperate to be trained in magic. Synopsis: Emilie des Marais is more at home holding scalpels than embroidery needles and is desperate to escape her noble roots to serve her country as a physician.
