For fans of Red Queen and Grave Mercy comes the captivating sequel to
the Renaissance France-inspired epic fantasy The Queen's Rising.
Brienna is a mistress of knowledge and is beginning to settle into her
role as the daughter of the once disgraced lord, Davin MacQuinn. Though
she'd just survived a revolution that will return a queen to the throne,
she faces yet another challenge: acceptance by the MacQuinns.
But as Queen Isolde Kavanagh's closest confidant, she'll have to balance
serving her father's House as well as her country.
Then there's Aodhan Morgan, formerly known as Cartier Évariste, who is
adjusting to the stark contrast between his pre-rebellion life in
Valenia and his current one as lord of a fallen House. As he attempts to
restore the Morgane name, he let his mind wander--what if he doesn't
have to raise his House alone? What if Brienna could stand by his side?
But Brienna and Cartier must put their feelings aside, as there are more
vital tasks at hand--the Lannons' trial, forging alliances, and ensuring
that no one halts the queen's coronation. Resistance is rumbling among
the old regime's supporters, who are desperate to find a weakness in the
rebels' forces.
And what makes one more vulnerable than love?
