BAEKSBABIE
Liliana Jackson loved her life in New York. She didn't have friends or a boyfriend, but she did have her mother, her little brother, and a home that belonged to them-even if it wasn't always perfect.
Then, royal envoys arrive at her door and claim that arrangements were made long ago for Liliana to attend Auradon Prep, an elite school in a kingdom she barely knows exists. Before she can understand why she was chosen-or what her birth family has to do with any of it-she is pulled away from everything familiar and dropped into a world of princes, princesses, magic, and expectations she was never raised to meet.
Auradon is bright, beautiful, and completely overwhelming. Liliana keeps to herself, hiding the energetic, curious girl her family knows beneath quiet answers and nervous smiles. But the strange powers awakening inside her refuse to remain hidden, and neither does the unsettling feeling that she has seen Prince Ben before.
Ben has dreamed of the mysterious girl with storm-blue eyes long before she arrives in his kingdom. Liliana has dreamed of a nameless boy dressed like a prince, reaching for her beneath the golden skies of a place she believes might be Olympus. When they finally meet, neither understands why everything suddenly feels as though it has fallen into place.
But a future king cannot simply choose whom he loves. Ancient agreements stand between Auradon and Olympus, secrets surround Liliana's birth, and destiny appears determined to turn her heart into another political battlefield.
As villains cross the barrier and magic begins twisting love into something cruel, Liliana must decide how far she is willing to go to protect Ben, Auradon, and the family she left behind.
Because being good does not always mean keeping your hands clean.
