Review Quotes

"Within the treacherous walls of Eladine Academy, Melinda Gong paints an intricate portrait of espionage, twisting allegiances, and dangerous political intrigue that kept me enraptured from the very first page. Following Anna's journey is a heart-pounding adventure, and she is all I adore in a main character: clever, determined, and (most importantly) great with a dagger...especially when she's pressing it against Paris's throat!" -Sophie Kim, #1 Sunday Times Bestselling Author of The God and the Gumiho

"Fast-paced and filled with romantic tension, This Wretched Dawn has a vicious edge to it that is as sharp as a well-honed blade. Two members of rival courts, Anna and Paris, must team up to uncover a plot that threatens both of their families. But first they must fight a war of a different kind: a war against their own hearts and history. A thrilling page-turner of a debut!" --Keshe Chow, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Girl with No Reflection
