This book, never anything less than mesmerizing, is full of family stories and vital Native history. It pulses and it aches, and it lifts, consistently. It threads together so much truth by the time we are done, what has been woven together equals a kind of completeness from brokenness, and a hope from knowing love and loss and love again by naming it so.” — Tommy Orange, National Bestselling Author of There There Reminiscent of the works of Mary Karr and Terese Marie Mailhot, a memoir of family and survival, coming-of-age on and off the reservation, and of the frictions between mainstream American culture and Native inheritance, assimilation, and reverence for tradition.

About The Book: I was born a princess, a bargaining chip in a kingdom desperate to survive. Across the twenty realms—ten ruled by humans, ten by monsters—alliances were rare, fragile things. When my father promised me to the monster king of one of the savage realms, I knew it wasn’t a love match they bargained me for. It was to forge a powerful alliance. I told myself I could endure it—that it was for my kingdom and people. I’d sacrifice myself for the hope it helped others. I could stand proud and bold at my monster husband’s side, untouched by the darkness that surrounded him. But the moment I met him, all my carefully built walls crumbled. He was brutal, clever, and dangerous. He didn’t want a queen to parade in front of the realms. He wanted a mate to own. Possess. My monster husband took me, claimed me, and shattered everything I thought I knew about my life and the world. And somewhere between the bruising kisses and the cruel tenderness only I ever saw, I knew the truth.
