Title: Last of Her Name
Author: Jessica Khoury
Pages: 400
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Release Date: 26th February 2019
Blurb from Goodreads:
Sixteen years ago, rebellion swept the galaxy known as the Belt of Jewels. Every member of the royal family was murdered--down to their youngest child, Princess Anya--and the Union government rose in its place. But Stacia doesn't think much about politics. She spends her days half-wild, rambling her father's vineyard with her closest friends, Clio and Pol.
That all changes the day a Union ship appears in town, carrying the leader of the Belt himself, the Direktor Eminent. The Direktor claims that Princess Anya is alive, and that Stacia's sleepy village is a den of empire loyalists, intent on hiding her. When Stacia is identified as the lost princess, her provincial home explodes into a nightmare.
Pol smuggles her away to a hidden escape ship in the chaos, leaving Clio in the hands of the Union. With everything she knows threading away into stars, Stacia sets her heart on a single mission. She will find and rescue Clio, even with the whole galaxy on her trail.
Why I'm Anticipating This Book:
An Anastasia retelling set in space!
This sounds so cool and I love the blue and the lettering on the cover.
I'm really interested in this one as well! I do love a good retelling and space story, so with those together this sounds great!
