The throne is mine. Now, I face threats from all sides - but I'm the most dangerous of them all. To marry a foreign king would break my heart but choosing my four lovers over the kingdom would ignite a terrible war. Love hangs in the balance as the consequences of saving a life begin to take a toll on my magic. To stay sane, I must rely on my dragon guards more than ever before. But traitors hide behind familiar faces and caring smiles, and assassins haunt the halls of my castle. Conspiracies whisper through my court and doubt creeps its way into my heart. When I'm faced with betrayal, my heart and even my life may be lost forever. Readers who loved The Cruel Prince and Five Hundred Kingdoms will dive into this world ripe with magic, assassins, sword fights, betrayal, and a queen determined to save herself in new twist of fairy tales.
