In a magical land where your worth is dictated by the rings on your fingers, Jemmah hopes for nine of them—to protect Rakai from the Empire and be admired by all. Yet, on her fifteenth birthday, the gift she secretly wishes for is a simple one: for her sisters to be kind to her. Kind, like she is.
But the only gift her sisters give her that day is a choice. A choice that changes her.
Two years later, Jemmah is no longer kind. She no longer cares about her sisters or Rakai or the Empire. She certainly doesn’t care for the pathetic rebellion. Kindness is for fools and Jemmah will do anything to survive. Society doesn’t value her, so she decides to value only the wealth she can claw into her grasp—the cold hard shiny kind. Or, better yet, the rings that should have been hers.
Just when Jemmah is formulating a plan to return her lost magic, a roguish rebel swoops in and sweeps her, literally, off her feet. Thorn is as annoying as he is powerful, and he flaunts his nine rings while taking her further from getting hers back.
Jemmah is determined to escape Thorn, but she cannot deny he is making her question what she believes…
What is her true worth? Where does power really lie? And what does she truly value?
Valued is a standalone YA romantasy.
