Ten years on, Princess Kora still bears the shimmering mark of her father’s wish. Her golden skin attracts curiosity and fear, and the secret magic within her grows stronger each day. As rumors spread and danger closes in, Kora must uncover the true nature of her powers and decide whether she will embrace the legend of her lineage or forge a new destiny free of gold.
