Taking inspiration from classic fairy tales with a touch of King Lear, the book is filled with powerful moments, engaging storytelling, and brutal truths, and it weaves in themes of injustice and the dire consequences of deceit." -- Booklist Praise for The Game of Love and Death A B&N Teen Best YA Book A Booklist Editors' Choice A Kirkus Best Teen Book A Publishers Weekly Best Book An Amazon Best Book of the Year A PNBA Northwest Book Awards Winner A YALSA Teens Top Ten Title Winner of the Washington State Scandiuzzi Children's Book Award A Finalist for the Audie Awards * "This sophisticated novel is filled with breathtaking prose and nuanced characterizations... a thoughtful exploration of courage, love, and the price we pay to live." -- Booklist , starred review * "Romance fans will find plenty to swoon over here, while aspiring philosophers will find just as much to ponder." -- BCCB , starred review * "Brockenbrough never sugarcoats the obstacles facing Henry and Flora's love -- whether human prejudices or supernatural manipulations--in this inventive and affecting novel, and the ending in which Flora, who has seen too many people die, realizes how love and death intertwine, is beautiful." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review " The Game of Love and Death is a unique and deeply moving novel." -- BookPage "It's a poignant reminder of how far we've come since the 1930s in terms of race, class, and sexual orientation--and how far we still have to go." -- Horn Book "Brockenbrough's precise, luscious prose cuts back and forth among the four protagonists, according each character equal depth...

SynopsisHappily ever after is a lie. Once upon a time there was a kingdom, and a forest that liked to eat men, and a girl who would change everything, but not alone ... Except -- There's no such thing as once upon a time. In a faraway land, populated by were beasts and surrounded by a powerful forest, lies a kingdom about to be sent into chaos. On his deathbed, King Tyran divides his land, leaving half to each of his two children -- so they'll rule together. However, his son, Albrecht, is not satisfied with half a kingdom. And even though his sister, Ursula, is the first born, he decides that, as a girl and were bear, she is unfit to rule. So he invades her land, slaughtering her people and most of the were beasts, and claims it for himself. As King Albrecht builds his iron rule and an army to defend his reign, Ursula is gathering the survivors and making plans to seize back the kingdom. Not just her half -- the whole thing. Because Albrecht should have never been allowed to sit on the throne, and Ursula is going to take his crown. And if he's not careful, he might not get to keep his head either.
