A fierce gladiator queen must face off against her enemies in an epic
battle in this next thrilling installment of New York Times and USA
Today bestselling author Jennifer Estep's Crown of Shards series--an
action-packed adventure full of magic, murderous machinations, courtly
intrigue, and pulse-pounding romance.
Queen Everleigh Blair of Bellona has survived the mass murder of the
royal family, become a fearsome warrior trained by an elite gladiator
troupe, and unleashed her ability to destroy magic. After surviving yet
another assassination attempt orchestrated by the conniving king of
Morta, Evie has had enough. It's time to turn the tables and take the
fight to her enemies.
There is no better opportunity to strike than during the Regalia Games,
a time when warriors, nobles, and royals from all the kingdoms come
together to compete in various sporting events. With the help of her
loyal friends, Evie goes on the attack at the Regalia, but things don't
turn out the way she hopes. Soon, she is facing a terrifying new threat,
and she will have to dig deep and learn even more about her growing
magic if she has any chance of defeating her foes.
Because to secure her throne and ensure her kingdom's survival, Evie
must think like a true Bellonan: she must outsmart and outwit her
enemies . . . and crush the king.
