Legendary: A Caraval Novel by Stephanie Garber

This time, the story shifts focus from Scarlett to her younger sister, Donatella "Tella" Dragna, who has spent years searching for a way to find their missing mother. Her opportunity arrives in the form of a dangerous bargain with a mysterious and deadly figure: a Fate known as the Prince of Hearts, Jacks. In exchange for his help finding her mother, Tella promises him something terrifying—one day of her life, chosen by him.

To fulfill her end of the deal, Tella must win this year's Caraval, which is no longer a game of entertainment but a high-stakes competition with the winner becoming Legend's successor. As she immerses herself in the glittering, treacherous world of the game, Tella finds herself caught between two dangerous men: a charismatic sailor who makes her question everything and the hauntingly seductive Jacks, whose kisses are as deadly as they are irresistible.

As Tella unravels the clues, she discovers that Legend's true identity is the key to everything—and that revealing it could come at a devastating cost. The deeper she plays, the more she realizes that Legend is not just the master of the game; he is closer to her than she ever imagined, and uncovering his secret could destroy her heart forever.
