The Court Of Fives

"Caught between the worlds of the ruling-class Patrons and the conquered Commoners, Jessamy must choose between being a dutiful daughter and secretly competing in the Court of Fives — an obstacle race that offers independence. When a power-hungry Patron throws her family into chaos and threatens the lives of her mother and sisters, Jessamy turns to an unlikely source for help: a wealthy Patron boy she beat in The Fives. Full of high-stakes adventure but also heartfelt musings on identity, family and colonization, this book presents a fantasy world that is refreshingly inspired by Greco-Roman and Egyptian cultures."
