Series: The Culled Crown

When Monroe Benson was born with the power to summon fire from her fingertips, her family knew she had to stay hidden. But when Queen Viera calls for the Culling, an age-old tradition in Erydia where ten goddess-touched girls battle to the death in order to claim the crown, Monroe can no longer hide. She’s whisked away from her home, from her mother, from everything she’s ever known to fight alongside the other girls - each with their own power - for a throne she does not want.

Duty is his destiny. There’s no way out.

As the son of the queen and the next king, Cohen can’t question tradition. Not even when he’s being mysteriously poisoned. Not even when his sister goes missing and no one seems to care. The Culling makes his life’s choices for him - who will become his wife, who will rule by his side. And when rebellion rises around him, what little control Cohen has over his future is threatened.

Together they’ll stand. Together they’ll fall.

But Monroe sees a different Cohen than the rest of the world. She sees him as more than just the crown, more than just the next cruel ruler in a long line of cruel leaders. In turn, he sees her as more than just her powers. More than just a goddess-touched girl destined to lose her life. When a betrayal threatens both their relationship and the monarchy, Monroe and Cohen face a choice that will change their lives . . . forever.

Reviews for Of Cages and Crowns

""". . . the intriguing plot, complex characters, and brilliant writing make this a page-turner to the very end."" --School Library Journal ""Of Cages and Crowns hits basically every YA fantasy must. There's a magical heroine, there's war, a destiny, and of course, an unlikely romance. But despite this, and the book being described as 'The Hunger Games meets Shadow and Bone, ' Of Cages and Crowns manages to stand apart in a genre that is filled to the brim with very good books which follow more or less the same formula."" --Fangirlish ""Of Cages and Crowns is an epic dystopian fantasy read that will hook you in and leave you wanting to know what will happen next."" --Your Bookish Life ""If you're a fantasy geek, definitely watch out for the name of author Brianna Joy Crump."" --Young Entertainment Magazine"
