Book description

Sorrow all but rules the Court of Tears, in a land gripped
by perpetual grief, forever mourning her brother who died just

By day she governs in place of her father, by night she seeks
secret solace in the arms of the boy she's loved…

Our enigmatic heroine, Sorrow, rules the Court of Tears, covering for her grief-maddened father, who has turned their once celebrated land into a living monument for the brother who died before she was born. Joy is literally forbidden. But in this twisty turny political tale – in which the magic slowly blooms – nothing is as it seems… I loved it!
