Galothia has grown up in the shadows of her kingdom, hidden away after her parents were outed as enemies of the king. Raised in a forest idyll by a few kindly adult caretakers, Kalothia has no firsthand knowledge of the outside world. But when assassins attack her home on her sixteenth birthday, she must flee. Her journey takes her to the king's court—a beautiful but lethal nest of poison, plots, and danger. Guided by the Goddess, can Kalothia navigate this most worldly of places to find her own role and her one true love? This first book set in the kingdom of Galla offers adventure, intrigue, and romance to those who dare enter its lush, dangerous world. "Opulence, beauty, and danger—Goddess Crown sweeps readers into a sumptuous new world that they won't soon forget and introduces an unstoppable heroine in Kalothia. A magnificent and triumphant debut."—Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times best-selling author and chief operating officer of We Need Diverse Books
