I AM A WEAPON. USE ME.

'FERAL AND TENDER' — Chloe Gong

The instant New York Times bestseller

A fierce, sapphic fantasy about a witch whose mission to assassinate the prince she's betrothed to is compromised by the discovery of a deadly plague - and the beautiful princess intent on stopping it.

After years of bloodshed, Ranka's coven has one last mission for her: travel to the human kingdom, marry the prince, and kill him. Easy enough.

Except the prince is gentle and kind. And it is his sister, Aramis — wickedly smart and infuriatingly beautiful — who seems to be the real threat.

When witches start dying from a mysterious, magical plague, Ranka and Aramis are forced together in a desperate hunt for a cure.

Soon, Ranka will have to choose between the witches who raised her and the princess she may be falling for...

About the Author

Rebecca Mix spent her childhood tromping through swamps and falling out of very tall trees - which, in hindsight, explains a lot. A reluctant reader at first, she fell in love with books after joining a reading contest to spite her 4th grade nemesis. She studied English at Oakland University and now balances working full-time in PR with writing books about messy girls, eerie magic, and hope. This is her debut novel.
