Bestselling author Jennifer Estep continues her Gargoyle Queen epic
fantasy series where magic reigns, alliances are tested, and a dangerous
attraction could tear down a throne. . .
Crown princess. Clever spy. Powerful mind magier. Gemma Ripley of
Andvari is all those things--and determined to stop an enemy from using
magical tearstone weapons to conquer her kingdom.
Gemma's quest for answers leads her to a trade Summit between the
various kingdoms. Among the other royals in attendance is Queen Maeven
Morricone of Morta and her son, Prince Leonidas--Gemma's charming and
dangerous nemesis.
Gemma knows that Maeven always has a long game in motion, and sure
enough, the cunning queen invokes an arcane tradition that threatens the
fragile truce between Andvari and the other kingdoms. Despite her best
intentions, Gemma once again finds herself thrown together with Leo and
battling her growing feelings for the enemy prince.
When a series of deadly attacks shatters the Summit's peaceful
negotiations, Gemma realizes that someone wants to tear the royals down
from their thrones--and that this enemy just might succeed.
