Lies We Sing to the Sea by Sarah Underwood Book Only (Illumicrate 'Live Like Legends' exclusive)

Lies We Sing to the Sea is a YA fantasy standalone debut. Each spring, a kingdom condemns 12 girls to die to sate the centuries-old curse a god placed upon their land. When one of the sacrificed girls wakes up on a mysterious island, she and the island’s lone resident form a plan: go undercover at the palace and kill the crown prince. If they succeed, the curse will be broken and no more girls will be sacrificed… but at what personal cost?

We love this achingly beautiful story, with its determined main characters and sapphic yearning, and we shed many tears reading it!
