BOOKS

After hiding her magic for seventeen years, Princess Jennesara is all that stands between the Plateau kingdoms she loves and the power-hungry mages bent on destroying them. Shielded is an adventurous YA fantasy for fans of The Girl of Fire and Thorns, Hunted, and The Demon King.

As second born to Hálendi's royal family, Princess Jennesara was never supposed to inherit magic. She is supposed to wed the prince of Turia to strengthen the alliance between their kingdoms. While traveling to Turia, she feels the magical tethers connecting her to her family snap one by one—a sign of her family's death. At the same moment, a mage bent on revenge blasts through her traveling party, killing everyone in his path to get to her. Knowing she has to survive for her kingdom's sake, Jennesara flees into the Wild, chased by hunger, wolves, and shadowmen.

She's barely alive when she stumbles out of the Wild and into Turia, but vows to find a way to protect others from the mage's destruction. She befriends the prince she was supposed to wed and works her way into Turia's palace. But with war threatening at every border and the murder of her family fresh in her mind, she can't reveal her identity to anyone, including the prince. Not if Jennesara, with her forbidden magic, hopes to defeat the mage before he becomes unstoppable and destroys all the kingdoms on the Plateau.
