Goodreads Summary:
Four hundred years ago, the world ended. And now, on the coast of what was once called Brazil, women rule in the legendary pyramid city of Palmares Três. The city's Queen only cedes her power to a man once every five years -- to a Summer King, whose story will grip the city like a fever.
For June Costa, art is everything. Her brilliant creations -- from murals and holograms to a delicate pattern of lights in her skin -- have impressed (and irritated) her classmates and teachers alike. Her dream is to win the prestigious Queen's Award, and the instant fame and success that come with it. It's a dream she never questions -- until she meets Enki. Enki, the newly-elected Summer King, is the hottest thing in Palmares Três. But when June sees Enki, she sees more than piercing amber eyes and a lethal samba: She sees a fellow artist.
Together, June and Enki will create art that Palmares Três will never forget. They will add fuel to a growing rebellion against the government's strict limits on new tech. And June will fall deeply, tragically in love with Enki.
Because like all Summer Kings before him, Enki is destined to die

Oh my gosh for a minute there I thought "The Iron Fey spin off series" because The Summer Prince sounded like The Lost Prince slightly ;) But I haven't heard of this so I'll definitely have to check this out! Especially now that it shares the same title as my favorite series ;) Awesome pick Kristin!

ReplyDeleteGuys, how was recently? I want to share an aphorism with you. Pain is always suffering. But,if you can handle it well, pain will teach you how to be a better person. Do you agree with it? By the way, I am a WoW gamer and know a reliable store to buy WoW gold, if you or your friends need WoW gold too, you can have a try. Have a nice day.
