Legendary
Having made a deal with a criminal to save her sister Scarlett from a disastrous arranged marriage, Tella must win Caraval and uncover Legend's identity, or risk losing everything, including her life.
Swept up in the magical world of Caraval, Donatella Dragna has finally escaped her father and saved her sister Scarlett from a disastrous arranged marriage. But Tella isn't yet free. She made a desperate bargain with a mysterious criminal, and what Tella owes him no one has ever been able to deliver: Caraval Master Legend's true name. To win Caraval, Tella throws herself into the legendary competition once more-- and into the path of the murderous heir to the throne, a doomed love story, and a web of secrets... including her sister's. If Tella can't deliver Legend's name, she'll lose everything-- maybe even her life.
