Hi Everyone! I hope that you are having a great first day of July. I wanted to share with you a book marathon that I am going to be participating in. The name of this marathon is Retellathon! Check them out on their twitter @retellathon.

What is Retellathon? Retellathon is a marathon from the seventh to the fifteenth of this month. During these days you’re encouraged to read a novel based on another story.  For example the original story is The Wizard of Oz and the retelling is Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch.

What am I reading?

I wanted to keep this light and simple due to me moving and didn’t want to over do myself. If I manage to do more I shall share! I’m gonna Vlog it and share my thoughts.

The world has turned upside down for Thad and Ari Glavan, the bastard twins of Súndraille’s king. Their mother was murdered. The royal family died mysteriously. And now Thad sits on the throne of a kingdom whose streets are suddenly overrun with violence he can’t stop.

Growing up ignored by the nobility, Ari never wanted to be a proper princess. And when Thad suddenly starts training Ari to take his place, she realizes that her brother’s ascension to the throne wasn’t fate. It was the work of a Wish Granter named Alistair Teague who tricked Thad into wishing away both the safety of his people and his soul in exchange for the crown.

So Ari recruits the help of Thad’s enigmatic new weapons master, Sebastian Vaughn, to teach her how to fight Teague. With secret ties to Teague’s criminal empire, Sebastian might just hold the key to discovering Alistair’s weaknesses, saving Ari’s brother—and herself.

But Teague is ruthless and more than ready to destroy anyone who dares stand in his way—and now he has his sights set on the princess. And if Ari can’t outwit him, she’ll lose Sebastian, her brother…and her soul.

Books that I Recommend for the Retellathon!
