Synopsis

The Unwilling by Kelly Braffet will be available Feb 11, 2020. Preorder your copy today

Synopsis

A penetrating tale of magic, faith and pride...

A young woman born an orphan with a secret gift soon discovers that she does not have to be given power--she can take it.

The Unwilling is the story of Judah, a foundling who is raised as a sibling to Gavin, the heir of Highfall, and his brother Theron in the great house beyond the wall. It is the seat of power at the center of Lord Elban's great empire. Judah and Gavin share a mysterious, unnatural bond that is both the key to her survival...and possibly her undoing.

As Gavin prepares for his arranged marriage to Eleanor of Tiernan, and his brilliant, sickly younger brother Theron tries to avoid becoming commander of the army, Judah is left to realize that she has no real power or position within the castle, in fact, no hope at all of ever traveling beyond its wall. Lord Elban--a man as powerful as he is cruel--has other plans for her, for all of them. She is a pawn to him, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

But outside the wall, in the starving, desperate city, a Magus, a healer with a secret power unlike anything Highfall has seen in years, is newly arrived from the provinces. He, too, has plans for the empire, and at the heart of those plans lies Judah... The girl who started life with no name and no history will soon uncover more to her story than she ever imagined.

An epic tale of greed and ambition, cruelty and love, this deeply immersive novel is about bowing to traditions and burning them down.

Synopsis

A penetrating tale of magic, faith and pride...

The Unwilling is the story of Judah, a foundling born with a special gift and raised inside Highfall castle along with Gavin, the son and heir to Lord Elban's vast empire. Judah and Gavin share an unnatural bond that is both the key to her survival...and possibly her undoing.

As Gavin is groomed for his future role, Judah comes to realize that she has no real position within the kingdom, in fact, no hope at all of ever traveling beyond its castle walls. Elban--a lord as mighty as he is cruel--has his own plans for her, for all of them. She is a mere pawn to him, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

But outside the walls, in the starving, desperate city, a magus, a healer with his own secret power unlike anything Highfall has seen in years, is newly arrived from the provinces. He, too, has plans for the empire, and at the heart of those plans lies Judah... The girl who started life with no name and no history will soon uncover more to her story than she ever imagined.

An epic tale of greed and ambition, cruelty and love, this deeply immersive novel is about bowing to traditions and burning them down.

Synopsis

"Fantasy at its most sublime "--Erin Morgenstern, New York Times bestselling author of THE NIGHT CIRCUS

"Suspenseful, magical, wonderfully written... An essential addition to all epic-fantasy collections." --Booklist, STARRED review


A penetrating tale of magic, faith and pride...

Judah is an orphaned girl with a secret gift, born at the gates of Highfall castle. Raised alongside Gavin, heir to Lord Elban's empire, the two share an extrasensory bond--one that is key to Judah's survival and her possible undoing.

Elban--as mighty as he is cruel--plans to use Judah as a pawn to amass greater control. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

But beyond the castle walls, a magus, a healer with his own powerful force, has arrived from the provinces. He, too, has designs on the realm, and at the heart of his plans lies Judah... The girl who started life with no name and no history will soon discover her own strength. Intriguingly, she does not have to be given power: she can just take it.
