Unspoken, [1]

Set in a kingdom of warring lands, demon curses, and hidden magic, UNSPOKEN is the perfect shifter fantasy for fans of Maggie Stiefvater's Mercy Falls Series and Sarah J Maas' Throne of Glass. "You are unbroken." Princess Isabelle of the New Kingdom has lived her entire life in the confines of her palace. In her spare time, she hunts and feeds the poverty-stricken Voiceless-people of the Old Kingdom, who warred with the New Kingdom and lost. Yet, she remains unfulfilled, she dreams of a world beyond the walls of her home. As the only remaining child of the king and queen, she is to be married off by her eighteenth birthday, a prospect she'd rather not think about. "My father said that magic died long ago. It was evil, cursed, and wicked. My father is a liar." When Izzy witnesses the use of forbidden magic in the woods outside the palace, she is attacked and saved by Fray, a Voiceless servant from the castle. As the two become friends, they seek out the magic users who tried to kill her, determined to get to uncover the truth. Little does Isabelle know, the servant boy harbors a secret about his people that the king has tried to bury, a dark ability that the Voiceless can no longer evoke. Yet something more sinister is brewing, and to save her family, Izzy must reverse what was done to Fray and his people. She must give them their voices back, even if it unleashes a terrifying power. "I am fearless." "Are you fearless?"
