All the Stars and Teeth (The All the Stars and Teeth Duology) (All the Stars and Teeth Duology, 1)

Set in a kingdom where danger lurks beneath the sea, mermaids seek vengeance with song, and magic is a choiceShe will reign.As princess of the island kingdom Visidia, Amora Montara has spent her entire life training to be High Animancer--the master of souls.

The rest of the realm can choose their magic, but for Amora, it's never been a choice.To secure her place as heir to the throne, she must prove her mastery of the monarchy's dangerous soul magic.When her demonstration goes awry, Amora is forced to flee.

She strikes a deal with Bastian, a mysterious pirate: he will help her prove she's fit to rule, if she will help him reclaim his stolen magic.But sailing the kingdom holds more wonder--and more peril--than Amora anticipated.

A destructive new magic is on the rise, and if Amora is to conquer it, she will need to face legendary monsters, cross paths with vengeful mermaids, and deal with a stow- away she never expected--or risk the fate of Visidia and lose the crown forever.I am the right choice.

The only choice.

And I will protect my kingdom.
