About This Book

Here’s a secret: speaking jewels and gems might sound like a dream, but it can lead to unexpected troubles. What if kindness and rudeness bring very different kinds of magic—and even a greedy prince’s prison? And when a prince must test who’s truly a princess, love might just rewrite the rules... but that’s only the beginning.
