She was born cursed, an Azete, a faceless one. A kind of witch whose shapeshifting power depends upon stealing the lifeforce of others through touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamara has feared her power ever since her mother's death, barely daring to use it except to feed off the men she entertains, and only in order to keep up her disguise. But when a chimera attack on her tavern leaves her exposed, she's brought back home to the current witch queen, and tasked with preventing a dangerous prophecy in exchange for forgiveness by the witches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Eskalon, the tyrant king's son, newly betrothed to a foreign princess, will father a child with the power to destroy the witches forever-unless Samara stops it. To save herself and her people, she must steal the face of the princess, claim the heart of her prince, and bear the child of prophecy herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the prince's bed isn't what she expected, and maintaining her stolen face requires enormous amounts of magic and power. With all eyes on her, and everything at stake, feeding becomes more dangerous by the day. Tensions are rising between warring factions vying for power. The kingdom is growing unstable as the prince's political enemies close in, monstrous attacks by chimera terrorize the land, and Samara is in the center of it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what's even more dangerous to the mission is Samara falling in love with her enemy, a man who doesn't know her true name, a man who has never seen her true face. Except when he dreams of a woman that looks just like her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe closer she gets to the prince, the closer he gets to the truth of what she is. But her true face and power, the power she fears, may be the key to saving the man she loves, but only if she risks everything: her people, her life, and her heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 484\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67893851258970,"sku":"9781957014210","price":51.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/6698\/3258\/files\/BOzQHCPHMH9781957014210.webp?v=1793318642","url":"https:\/\/preppypeacock.myshopify.com\/products\/the-faceless-queen-hardcover","provider":"Preppy Peacock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
