From the author of the New York Times bestselling The Testing
trilogy comes a sweeping new fantasy series, perfect for fans of
Victoria Aveyard and Sarah J. Maas.
Twins Carys and Andreus were never destined to rule Eden. With their
older brother next in line to inherit the throne, the future of the
kingdom was secure.
But appearances--and rivals--can be deceiving. When Eden's king and
crown prince are killed by assassins, Eden desperately needs a monarch,
but the line of succession is no longer clear. With a ruling council
scheming to gain power, Carys and Andreus are faced with only one
option--to take part in a Trial of Succession that will determine which
one of them is worthy of ruling the kingdom.
As sister and brother, Carys and Andreus have always kept each other
safe--from their secrets, from the court, and from the monsters lurking
in the mountains beyond the kingdom's wall. But the Trial of Succession
will test the bonds of trust and family.
With their country and their hearts divided, Carys and Andreus will
discover exactly what each will do to win the crown. How long before
suspicion takes hold and the thirst for power leads to the ultimate
betrayal?
