In the explosive third volume of The Hundredth Queen Series, the queen
of fire faces off against a demon of ice.
Despite the odds, Kalinda has survived it all: Marriage to a tyrant.
Tournaments to the death. The forbidden power to rule fire. The icy
touch of a demon.
That same demon now disguises itself as Rajah Tarek, Kalinda's late
husband and a man who has never stopped haunting her. Upon taking
control of the palace and the army, the demon brands Kalinda and her
companions as traitors to the empire. They flee across the sea, seeking
haven in the Southern Isles.
In Lestari, Kalinda's powers are not condemned, as they are in her land.
Now free to use them to protect those she loves, Kalinda soon realizes
that the demon has tainted her with a cold poison, rendering her fire
uncontrollable. But the lack of control may be just what she needs to
send the demon back to the darkest depths of the Void.
To take back the empire, Kalinda will ally with those she distrusts--and
risk losing those most loyal to her--to defeat the demon and bring peace
to a divided nation.
