The Princess And The Thief

by Cerrie Burnell

From author and disability ambassador Cerrie Burnell comes a gorgeous tale of spellbinding magic and wild adventure, all set in an evocative reimagined Italy - perfect for fans of Connie Glynn's Undercover Princess and the Twin Crowns series.

In the Kingdom of Venetia subjects can wield magic, but its power depends on their standing in society. Most magic is good, but there are also extreme rare dark enchantments, only to be used in the most desperate of times. . .

Fifteen years ago, two babies were born to very different families. Both girls were born without their right hands, and now their long dark hair, sparkling green eyes and disabilities make it tricky to tell them apart.

Neva grew up to be a talented thief, able to cast incredible enchantments with magic she shouldn't be able to access. She also longs to be an opera singer, but lacks the confidence to step into the spotlight.

Princess Aria is the last remaining member of the royal family. Few know that she has lost almost all her magic, and can only access one royal, golden strand of it. She's a brave young woman, but without her magic the palace is vulnerable to foes.

Though Aria and Neva lead very different lives, a chance encounter one midsummer night entwines them in a thrilling adventure that will change their fates forever...
