WHAT IF THE EVIL QUEEN WAS INNOCENT UNTIL SHE WAS BETRAYED? In the realm of Jinn, enchantments and magical abilities are conceived and often exploited for personal gain. At seventeen years old, Jezebel has developed a powerful shape-shifting Gift—and she’s determined to keep it a secret to avoid her fugitive mother’s fate. Following her friends through a portal to the human world, she’s tempted to explore her Gift and test her limits. After all, no one but the humans will see. But when one of her friends witnesses her ability, he demands she use it for his selfish purposes. He’ll stop at nothing—not even blackmail—to ensure he gets what he wants. After he crosses a line, putting them both in danger, Jezebel must decide what’s more important: protecting someone else, or keeping her secrets to protect herself. THE SECRET GIFT is the first book in THE QUEEN’S RISE series, inspired by your favorite villains in Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast. It’s a spin-off of The Stolen Kingdom series, but can also be read on its own. Over a century before Queen Jezebel crosses paths with Arie, Rena, and Nesrin, she’s just an innocent Jinni girl… who was betrayed.
