Spoils: a teen/new adult fantasy novel

by Alexandra Little

15-year-old Adil was abandoned at birth and branded a witch in the village where she was left, and would have been killed except for the fear of bringing lifelong bad luck. But her life as an unwanted and abused foster daughter changes when a conquering warlord prince arrives in her little village and realizes that a mind-reading witch, even one who is not very good at it, is a valuable asset. The prince claims her as a spoil of war, and takes her back to the capital of his growing empire.


It is there that Adil finds not only friends that don’t mind she’s a witch, but enemies who don’t care about superstitious bad luck. Adil must quickly learn how to use her feared magic, for she has landed in the middle of a dangerous court intrigue where the prince’s enemies are now hers, too. She must find out who is trying to kill the prince, before she ends up dead herself.
