Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko is an exciting fantasy debut that drops the reader into an exquisitely detailed world. Tarisai longs to belong somewhere, and if she's chosen to be one of the Crown Prince's Council of 11 she'll get her wish. Unfortunately, her mother has other plans: she wants to use Tarisai to kill the prince and force her daughter to break a sacred promise in the process.
