Hay que pagar un precio.
Elodie nunca soñó con un palacio lujoso ni con un príncipe apuesto. Mientras crecía en el reino de Inophe, azotado por el hambre, su deseo más profundo era ayudar a su pueblo a sobrevivir cada invierno. Entonces, cuando un representante de un reino rico y solitario ofrece a su familia suficiente riqueza para salvar a Inophe a cambio de la mano de Elodie en matrimonio, ella acepta sin dudarlo. Arrastrada por el resplandeciente reino de Aurea, Elodie rápidamente se deja cautivar por la belleza del reino y de su prometido, el príncipe Enrique.
Pero mientras Elodie emprende los rituales para convertirse en una princesa áurea, las dudas se apoderan de su mente cuando comienzan a aparecer grietas en el barniz perfecto del reino: una joven que aparece y desaparece de la torre del castillo. Un desfile de antorchas serpenteando por las montañas. Marcas dejadas en una misteriosa V. Demasiado tarde, descubre que la prosperidad de Aurea se ha adquirido a un alto precio: cada temporada de cosecha, el reino sacrifica a sus princesas a un dragón hambriento. Y Elodie es el próximo sacrificio.
Este antiguo acuerdo ha persistido durante siglos y ha llevado a cientos de mujeres a la muerte. Pero las mujeres que vinieron antes que Elodie no se fueron tranquilamente. Su sangre late con poder y memoria, y sus experiencias son la clave para la supervivencia de Elodie. Obligada a luchar por su vida, esta damisela debe usar su ingenio para derrotar a un dragón, descubrir el pasado de Aurea y salvar no sólo a ella misma sino también al futuro de su nuevo reino.
IDIOMA ORIGINAL
A damsel in distress takes on the dragon herself in this epic twist on classic fantasy. Based on a screenplay by Dan Mazeau, this is a groundbreaking collaboration between New York Times bestselling author Evelyn Skye and the team behind the upcoming Netflix film Damsel, starring Millie Bobby Brown.
A price must be paid.
Elodie never dreamed of a lavish palace or a handsome prince. As she grew up in the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, her deepest wish was to help her people survive each winter. So when a representative from a rich, reclusive kingdom offers her family enough wealth to save Inophe in exchange for Elodie’s hand in marriage, she accepts without hesitation. Swept away to the glistening kingdom of Aurea, Elodie is quickly taken in by the beauty of the realm—and of her betrothed, Prince Henry.
But as Elodie undertakes the rituals to become an Aurean princess, doubts prick at her mind as cracks in the kingdom’s perfect veneer begin to show: A young woman who appears and vanishes from the castle tower. A parade of torches weaving through the mountains. Markings left behind in a mysterious V. Too late, she discovers that Aurea’s prosperity has been purchased at a heavy cost—each harvest season, the kingdom sacrifices its princesses to a hungry dragon. And Elodie is the next sacrifice.
This ancient arrangement has persisted for centuries, leading hundreds of women to their deaths. But the women who came before Elodie did not go quietly. Their blood pulses with power and memory, and their experiences hold the key to Elodie’s survival. Forced to fight for her life, this damsel must use her wits to defeat a dragon, uncover Aurea’s past, and save not only herself but the future of her new kingdom as well.A damsel in distress takes on the dragon herself in this epic twist on classic fantasy.
