About the Author
Candice Pedraza Yamnitz is a homeschooling mom, author, and teacher. She taught in an elementary dual-language classroom for seven years before having her three spirited children. She mentored teen girls for years and aims to inspire through stories. In 2017, she joined the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) to improve her craft, and she has served as president of the Chicago chapter. Her work has placed in four contests.
Her writing contains a Latin twist which comes from her Puerto Rican and Mexican upbringing. She also adds a heavy dollop of mystery and sometimes an extra helping of romance. She fell in love with Lord of the Rings and Pride and Prejudice in high school and hasn’t stopped reading since. In between reading lessons and converting cardboard boxes into pirate ships, she writes and illustrates fantasy stories. She lives in her native Chicagoland.

About the Featured Title
Ruthless
Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Wishtress’ magical redemptive arc, and Encanto‘s Latin vibe.
Seventeen-year-old assassin Cottia is desperate to leave behind the work she’s been forced into.
Her lord offers freedom in exchange for one last hit. The assignment is to start a war by killing a target during the Giddelian prince’s betrothal selection ceremony.
When the prince uncovers her identity, he offers her a new opportunity. Will his invitation grant her freedom from the notorious underlord?
“Fans of no-spice romance with a dash of darker themes will love this book about an assassin changed by the unlikely friendship of a prince who can see beyond a person’s past. The banter, the one-horse moments, and the Latin vibes will keep you turning pages late into the night.”
– C. F. E. Black, author of The Starlit Prince
Also Available: Unbetrothed and One Must Die
