In the year since she
was betrothed to the crown prince of Kyrenica, no one has suspected that
the Masked Princess has been a decoy. That Elara, the secret twin
sister, has been pretending to be Princess Wilha all along. The royal
family has kept Elara’s identity hidden from the world, and for the
girls, swapping lives has not been easy. Galandra is quickly declining,
and the sisters continue to be a pawn in the Guardian’s ever-changing
endgames.
But the stakes rise when Elara and Wilha’s younger brother, Andrei, takes the Galandrian throne after their father's death, and he reveals the girls' deception to Kyrenica’s royal family. Viewed as traitors, Elara and Wilha realize they are now fighting for their lives—and for their country. However, with only one crown and one throne to overthrow, Elara and Wilha must decide who will become queen. Or rather, the next savior for their people.

My thoughts: Princess in the Opal Mask was absolutely wonderful, one of my faves of last year. If you haven't read it yet, READ IT!! :D Love that they kept the same cover style, the watercolor-y close-up image, just looks so ethereal and a perfect fit for this gorgeous original fairy tale!
Ooo, I didn't know this one had a cover! I really like it! I'm glad the publishing team kept the design going. I really enjoyed the first book, and I hope to read this one sometime this year. Hope you read and love it!! :)
