What this book is about
A Snow White retelling set in the kingdom of Ayortha, where song is the highest form of expression and beauty is prized above all else. Aza, a young innkeeper's daughter who believes herself irredeemably plain, has a voice of extraordinary power. When she becomes entangled with the new queen — a beautiful woman who desperately wants Aza's voice for herself — Aza must navigate court intrigue, a growing romance with a prince, and her own complicated relationship with beauty. Levine's warm fairy tale is appropriate for middle-grade readers.
