The Hive

by Anna February · 2025

In a glittering, hive‑like monarchy where justice is swift and unforgiving, young bodyguard Feldspar faces execution simply for surviving the murder of the future queen she was sworn to protect. With only three days left, she teams up with Niko, a rebellious royal who refuses to accept the official story. Together they must navigate a society modeled on the ruthless hierarchy of bees, uncover hidden conspiracies, and prove that the real killer lies elsewhere. Blending dystopian intrigue, a richly imagined world, and a hint of romance, this fast‑paced YA thriller will captivate fans of The Hunger Games, Neal Shusterman, and Holly Black.
