Description

She’s lost everything—her throne, her home, and nearly her life. But her people still need her. When Kalleah flees for her life, leaving the throne to her enemy, she’s not about to go into hiding. Her country is in trouble. Itrea’s oldest enemy is back, poised to conquer the country that long defied them, and no one else realizes it. Unless Kalleah can raise an army of her own, her country will be taken without a fight. Larkhaven is where she will bide her time and gather support—but the coastal city is not the safe retreat she expects. Enemies have overrun Larkhaven, and they are silencing all who speak out against them. If Kalleah is to save her country, she must start with reclaiming Larkhaven. But her time is running out. Enemy reinforcements are on their way, and as soon as they arrive, the city is lost. War is coming, and Itrea is poised to fall. The chances of success are too slim—Kalleah’s people are badly outnumbered and untrained. But Kalleah will not give up without a fight.
