Together, the two women will have to come overcome their enemies, their history, and their heartbreak in order to find a way to secure Luca’s power and Touraine’s freedom.

But she soon realizes that leading a country and leading a revolution are two very different tasks. Touraine has found a home in the newly free country of Qazal. When he calls for a “Trial of Competence” and Luca’s allies start disappearing from her side, she will need to find a way to prove her might. Luca needs to oust her uncle from the Balladairan throne once and for all and take her rightful place as Queen. But undoing the tangled web that binds the two nations will not be easy, and Touraine and Luca will face their greatest challenge yet. The rebels have won, and the empire is withdrawing from Qazal.
