Nothing is as it seems in the kingdom of Antora. Kestra Dallisor has spent three years in exile in the Lava Fields, but that won't stop her from being drawn back into her father's palace politics. He's the right hand man of the cruel king, Lord Endrick, which makes Kestra a valuable bargaining chip. A group of rebels knows this all too well -- and they snatch Kestra from her carriage as she reluctantly travels home.

The kidnappers want her to retrieve the lost Olden Blade, the only object that can destroy the immortal king, but Kestra is not the obedient captive they expected. Simon, one of her kidnappers, will have his hands full as Kestra tries to foil their plot, by force, cunning, or any means necessary. As motives shift and secrets emerge, both will have to decide what -- and who -- it is they're fighting for.

Jennifer A. Nielsen introduces us to an unforgettable new heroine in this epic tale of treachery and intrigue, love and deceit.




Why I can't wait for this one!

I NEVER get tired of kick-butt heroines, and it sure looks like the one in this book will be an incredible one, who won't sit down for a minute! Plus, there's a hint of romance, and to top things off, a grand tale of fantasy! And last but definitely NOT least, that cover just ROCKS!! I really need to get this one!!






New York Times Bestselling author, Jennifer Nielsen, was born and raised in northern Utah, where she still lives today with her husband, three children, and a dog that won’t play fetch. She is the author of The Ascendance trilogy, beginning with The False Prince; the Mark Of The Thief series, and the forthcoming A Night Divided.

    1. Hi, Sarah!

      Yeah, that cover grabbed my attention right away! As for the previous books.....OOPS!!! This is actually the first book, so that's a typo up there. I'm glad you mentioned "the previous books"! Lol. I'm going to change that right away! :)

      This is the first book by this author I've come across, but she's got several published novels, most of them in series. I LOVE epic fantasy, so I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy reading this one!
