Queen Katharine has waited her
entire life to wear the crown.
Mirabella and Arsinoe are
alive, but in hiding on the mainland and dealing with a nightmare of their own:
being visited repeatedly by a specter they think might be the fabled Blue
Queen. Though she says nothing, her rotting, bony finger pointing out to sea is
clear enough: return to Fennbirn.
Jules, too, is in a strange place—in
disguise. And her only confidants, a war-gifted girl named Emilia and her
oracle friend Mathilde, are urging her to take on a role she can’t imagine
filling: a legion-cursed queen who will lead a rebel army to Katharine’s
doorstep.
This is an uprising that the
mysterious Blue Queen may have more to do with than anyone could have
guessed—or expected.
“Tragic, devastating, horrifying, enthralling.” (Kirkus
