Synopsis:
Ana Mikhailov is the only surviving member of the royal family of Cyrilia. She has no army, no title, and no allies, and now she must find a way to take back the throne or risk the brutal retribution of the empress. Morganya is determined to establish a new world order on the spilled blood of non-Affinites. Ana is certain that Morganya won't stop until she kills them all.
Ana's only chance at navigating the dangerous world of her homeland means partnering with Ramson Quicktongue again. But the cunning crime lord has schemes of his own. For Ana to find an army, they must cross the Whitewaves to the impenetrable stone forts of Bregon. Only, no one can be certain what they will find there.
A dark power has risen. Will revolution bring peace--or will it only paint the streets in more blood.
Book Beginning:
Novo Mynsk reeked of death.
Friday 56:
His father watched him, clutching his glass of brandy. "You mean to say that she will not cede without information on the artifact?"

Q: How many blogs do you own?
A: This is my only blog, and I don't "own" it because I use the free format with Blogger.
I still need to read Blood Heir! But that cover is so stunning I’m gonna buy this one already.
ReplyDeleteOoooh this sounds like it could fill the gap in my reading ever since I finished the Tearling trilogy not too long ago. I will definitely be adding this series to my TBR! Do drop by <a href="http://universeinwords.blogspot.com/2020/12/friday-friyay-deborah-harkness.html>my post</a> if you have the time and I hope you have a lovely weekend :) Juli @ A Universe in Words
