House of Curses

New York Times bestselling author K.A. Linde returns to the Royal Houses series with House of Curses: the story of Kerrigan Argon, a half-Fae, half-human as she seeks her place in an unforgiving world filled with magic, mayhem, and romance. A YA romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and V.E. Schwab.

Magic. Power. Legacy. She was never meant to have any of them. Now she might control them all.

Kerrigan Argon was born half-human, half-Fae-fully rejected by both. But when she shatters expectations to become a dragon rider, the world that once scorned her can no longer ignore her rise.

Only now, everything she's gained is at risk.

Her prince has vanished into shadow. A forced political marriage looms. And in a shocking twist, she's been nominated to lead the very council that once sought to keep her out.

Worse, a violent faction known as the Red Masks is gaining ground-fueled by an insider's betrayal. War brews, and Kerrigan is caught between the old ways that tried to crush her and the dangerous hope of what could rise in their place.

Tropes to love:

• Outcast heroine
