The Ugly Daughter Returns as Queen
A witch-raised outcast fights a prince's fiancée for the crown through the Rite of Blossoms.
Lina Navera enters the world with bark skin and thorn hair, prompting her parents to abandon her in the Forbidden Forest. A witch finds her and raises her among the trees. Lark loves her for who she is, though he carries a secret as Riviera's crown prince. An enchanted stream changes Lina's face and hair, then exposes Lark's identity and his pledge to Verei. When Lina will not step aside, she lands in jail and must enter the Rite of Blossoms, a contest that could make her queen. Verei schemes against her while the forest itself begins to wither, and Lina uncovers a dark truth about the family that cast her out.
