For fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Six of Crows comes the
thrilling conclusion to the Blood Heir trilogy. A princess with a dark
secret must ally with a con man to liberate her empire from a reign of
terror in this epic fantasy retelling of the Anastasia story.
The Red Tigress, Anastacya Mikhailov, has lost the gift she was only
beginning to realize defined her. Stolen from her during the battle in
Bregon, her blood Affinity rests with Sorsha Farrald, a dangerous
Affinite who is on the run, headed straight to Cyrilia and to Ana's aunt
. . . the Empress Morganya.
Thought she is weakened, Ana and her course remain true--yet her return
to her homeland reveals a Cyrilia on the brink of collapse. Morganya's
tyrannical rule has transformed into a sinister quest for unquestioned
authority, and she has set her sights far beyond Cyrilia. Morganya seeks
a legendary ancient power, rumored to have once belonged to the Deities
themselves. If she can locate it, she can rule the world.
What's more, Ana's allies, the insurgent Affinite rebels known as the
Redcloaks, no longer support her. For their allegiance is with the
people--and there can be no equality with a monarchy.
Ana faces enemies at every turn, and every day without her Affinity
brings her closer to death. Yet she is determined to liberate her people
and vanquish the legacy of her own imperial bloodline--the inequality
sewn into the fabric of her land. Her only hope lies in the navy she
recruited in Bregon, the courage of her band of friends, and the cunning
crime-lord-turned-captain she's fallen for.
If Ana loses this fight, it will be her last. And Morganya's reign of
darkness with consume the world.
