In this romantic YA fantasy, two dead princesses must find the kiss that will bring them back to life. For fans of Cinderella Is Dead and Girl, Serpent, Thorn. In this romantic YA fantasy, two dead princesses must find the kiss that will bring them back to life. For fans of Cinderella Is Dead and Girl, Serpent, Thorn. When Princess Amala is murdered on the night of her wedding, she wakes up in an enchanted garden with a rare second chance at life. If she can find true love's kiss in the next five days, the gods promise to revive her . . . but beware, they warn, while the right kiss will save you, the wrong kiss will kill you. To accomplish her quest, she will need the help of the only other girl in this cursed forest-even if she is rude, rash, and charmingly arrogant. Kha'dasia has bigger problems than surviving some magic flora and fauna. She has no true love to administer her reviving kiss. Luckily, when a spoiled and frustratingly pretty princess stumbles into the wrong end of Kha'dasia's spear, the gods extend Kha'dasia a lifeline- help the love-struck girl find her prince and escape death. The Garden will play tricks on their minds, uprooting old scars, and the girls will have to trust each other to tend the wounds. But as the two grow closer, sparks fly and Amala begins to question if her true love is waiting at the end of this journey or standing right in front of her.
