From the author of TO KILL A KINGDOM comes the first in a spectacular fantasy duology, in a world thriving with black magic.
Alexandra Christo decided to write books when she was four and her
teacher told her she couldn't be a fairy. She has a BA in Creative
Writing and works as a copywriter in London, both of which make her
sound more grown up than she feels. When she's not busy making up
stories, she can be found buying far too many cushions and
organizing food crawls all over the city.
Alexandra currently lives in Hertfordshire with an abundance of
cacti (because they're the only plants she can keep alive).

This book is full of adventure, flirtation, sass, betrayal,
disguise, growth, duty, fate and a hint of pirate swashbuckling
fun. I highly recommend this novel as an excellent adaptation of
the Little Mermaid that has managed to become its own story in the
process
*Mythic Reader*
To Kill a Kingdom is the The Little Mermaid of your nightmares...
you should definitely add this one to your to read lists! Lira is
an absolutely riot!
*Beautiful Bookland*
I really, really, loved this book. There's not enough books out
there which go into the underwater-fantasy genre. To Kill a Kingdom
fills that gap in the market. It's well written and the characters
are simply brilliant
*Life Has A Funny Way*
I thoroughly enjoyed this book
*Much Ado About Books*
This was AWESOME. It's so rare to find well-developed second-world
fantasy YA standalones - but this book managed to deliver a great
story, three-dimensional characters and excellent world-building
all within one single novel
*Astolat Books*
This is actually a harder review to write than I anticipated; I
literally just want to write a page of "I love it, I love it, I
love it" and squeal with excitement as I reminisce over this
incredible book and suffer through my book hangover! I can't
recommend To Kill A Kingdom highly enough; it certainly lives up to
the expectation and can certainly rival incredible fantasy books
such as those by Maas and Bardugo, and I can't wait to see what
Christo writes in the future!
*Snaily Can Fly*
a glorious new book for your YA fantasy shelf
*Library Looter*
It has everything! Banter, sass, chemistry, pirates, adventure,
action, a bitch queen mother, incredible world-building, consistent
plot and pacing and awesome character arcs and progression.
Ultimately, it is incredibly fun and entertaining. Just read
it.
*Emma's Chapter*
Alexandra Christo's debut is much better than anything Maas has
ever written. Definitely a book that I can see turning into a big
hit with readers.
*Mystic Reads*
The world building is deft, and the spectacular ending is a happy
one for Lira and Elian, but it will leave readers blissfully
wanting more.
