Bookroo's summary

Samantha Kemi, a talented alchemist from a struggling family, embarks on a perilous quest to save the Princess of Nova, who accidentally fell in love with her own reflection. As competitors race to find the rare ingredients needed for the cure, Sam faces magical forests, frozen tundras, and the formidable ZoroAster megacorp. Amidst the chaos, she finds herself drawn to Zain Aster, her charming rival. With the world watching on social media, can Sam restore her family's honor and navigate her growing feelings for Zain? Adventure, danger, and unexpected romance await in this enchanting tale.

From the publisher

Samantha may be falling for the beloved of the princess she is sent to save in this start to a “charming and humorous” (Kirkus Reviews) romantic trilogy. “Inventive, romantic, and downright delightful.” –Sarah J. Mass, author of Throne of Glass When the Princess of Nova accidentally poisons herself with a love potion meant for her crush, she falls crown-over-heels in love with her own reflection. Oops. A nationwide hunt is called to find the cure, with competitors travelling the world for the rarest ingredients, deep in magical forests and frozen tundras, facing death at every turn. Enter Samantha Kemi–an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent. Sam’s family were once the most respected alchemists in the kingdom, but they’ve fallen on hard times, and winning the hunt would save their reputation. But can Sam really compete with the dazzling powers of the ZoroAster megapharma company? And just how close is she willing to get to Zain Aster, her dashing enemy, in the meantime. Just to add to the pressure, this quest is ALL OVER social media. And the world news. No big deal, then.
