Lynette Noni

From Australia's #1 best-selling YA author Lynette Noni comes a dark, thrilling YA fantasy about Kiva, a girl forced to heal prisoners of war who must wager her life in a series of deadly elemental trials, all to save the rebel force's queen. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir.


Seventeen-year-old Kiva Meridan has spent the last ten years fighting for survival in the notorious death prison, Zalindov, working as the prison healer.

When the Rebel Queen is captured, Kiva is charged with keeping the terminally ill woman alive long enough for her to undergo the Trial by Ordeal: a series of elemental challenges against the torments of air, fire, water, and earth, assigned to only the most dangerous of criminals.

Then a coded message from Kiva’s family arrives, containing a single order: “Don’t let her die. We are coming.” Aware that the Trials will kill the sickly queen, Kiva risks her own life to volunteer in her place. If she succeeds, both she and the queen will be granted their freedom.

But no one has ever survived.

With an incurable plague sweeping Zalindov, a mysterious new inmate fighting for Kiva’s heart, and a prison rebellion brewing, Kiva can’t escape the terrible feeling that her trials have only just begun.

I wish I could say they lived happily ever after. They did, for a time. Very happily. But things happen in life that you don't expect, that you can't plan for and you're helpless to stop. Their story didn't end as it should have. But I know for a fact that they'd live it all over again, even the ending, as long as it meant they could keep their beginning.

Still, she wasn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth, even if that horse was coated in slime.

With bright red hair and wide blue eyes, Tipp looked like a burning candle. 

But wishing had never done her any good before, just as she knew it wouldn’t now.

“Never apologize for for loving someone. Even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts” - Jaren 

"I’ve been here nearly two months," Jaren said. He held the Warden's sharp eyes as he added, “Long enough to know who's worth saving.”

“That’s a bit of a mouthful. Probably easier if you stick with Jaren.”

here at Zalindov, the only person you can trust is yourself.”
