Books like A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi
Princess Gauri of Bharata is forced into exile and captured by her kingdom’s enemies. With nothing left to lose, she encounters Vikram, a cunning prince from a neighboring land and her sworn rival. Rather than placate him as a puppet king, Vikram proposes a daring alliance: together they will use Gauri’s combat skill to compete in the Tournament of Wishes. This contest, held in a mythical city, offers the victor a wish granted by the Lord of Wealth. As they journey to the tournament, they face hazards that shift shapes—poisonous courtesans, mischievous story birds, a feast of fears, and twisted fairy revels—each designed to test wit and strength. Throughout the adventure, Gauri and Vikram must set aside their differences, confronting the ultimate truth that what they most desire can also be the most dangerous thing of all.
