Queen of Faces – Petra Lord | Waterstones Exclusive Edition

A pawn dies. A queen rises.

In Caimor, the wealthy can buy and trade bodies as easily as clothes. But Anabelle Gage is trapped in a damaged male body that is rapidly deteriorating — and within a year, it will kill her.

Ana's one hope is Paragon Academy, the prestigious school of magic where gaining admission could finally give her access to a healthy new body. When that dream is ripped away, desperation forces her to use her extraordinary illusion magic to try to save herself.

Caught in the act, Ana is given an impossible choice: face the consequences of her crime or become a mercenary for Paragon.

But rebellion is brewing, led by one of the most feared dark mages in history. As Ana is pulled deeper into a world of assassins, magic, secrets and shifting loyalties, the distinction between heroes and villains begins to crumble — and becoming her true self may prove to be her greatest power of all.
