The Lovely Invisible

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bone Crier's Moon comes a juicy YA retelling of the Greek myth “Cupid and Psyche,” where a stunningly beautiful princess must pick a suitor to marry in order to save her kingdom--even though she has a plan to do all the saving on her own.

Isidora, crown princess of Vasileia, dreams of marrying for love as her parents did before her. But when she unexpectedly ascends the throne at the age of eighteen, a very different reality confronts her. She is expected to marry for alliance and nothing more.
When Isidora refuses to wed, her council votes to rescind her power. Her only hope to save her country is marrying one of three suitors: a passionate friend from Corinth, an elegant noble from Athens, or a celebrated warrior from Sparta. But the man Isidora is drawn to isn't one of the three. Infuriatingly secretive, and as it turns out, an exceptional kisser, he's the only one who truly sees her. Which is ironic, since he is invisible.
As her forced wedding approaches, Isidora must make her choice. In the face of assassination attempts, divided loyalties between sisters, and the threat of war, she must decide if she has the faith to declare the choice of her heart—and hope that true love has the power to save Vasileia.
