A series of tests to see who is most worthy of becoming the Queen Victorious. The Winning daughter will marry a suitor of the king's choosing. Once married, her husband will become king.

She wants to rule the Kingdom of Vivelle with her sisters by her side. She only has a few days left to come up with a plan before the Trial begins.

Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page....Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy." --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (regarding Rise of the Dragons) From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes a sweeping new fantasy series. 17 year old Ceres, a beautiful, poor girl in the Empire city of Delos, lives the harsh and unforgiving life of a commoner.

He yearns to break free from the restraints of his upbringing, yet he, a fine warrior, sees no way out. When Ceres stuns the court with her hidden powers, she finds herself wrongfully imprisoned, doomed to an even worse life than she could imagine. Thanos, smitten, must choose if he will risk it all for her. Yet, thrust into a world of duplicity and deadly secrets, Ceres quickly learns there are those who rule, and those who are their pawns. And that sometimes, being chosen is the worst that can happen. SLAVE, WARRIOR, QUEEN tells an epic tale of tragic love, vengeance, betrayal, ambition, and destiny. Filled with unforgettable characters and heart-pounding action, it transports us into a world we will never forget, and makes us fall in love with fantasy all over again.

'Amante,' mompelde hij traag, met een luie ondertoon, 'waarom ontwijk je je krachten?' Hij gaf een zachte ruk aan mijn plukje haar dat hij vast had en draaide me om, waardoor ik hem recht aankeek en mijn donkerblauwe ogen in zijn grijze ogen verzonken. 'Raak me niet aan. Laat me met rust. Bemoei je met je eigen zaken, wil je?' zei ik fronsend, zijn vraag ontwijkend. Hij maakte een instemmend geluidje en kantelde zijn hoofd grijnzend. Een plukje haar viel voor zijn oog. 'Als je wilt, kan ik je helpen. Met je krachten, bedoel ik. Want weet dat je je krachten niet voor altijd kan ontwijken. Als je ze blijft onderdrukken, zullen de mensen waarvan je het meest houdt eronder lijden. Begrijp je dat?' Zijn toon was serieus, in tegenstelling tot zijn speelse blik. Nee, ik begreep dat niet. Of beter gezegd: ik wilde het niet begrijpen. Ik wilde niet begrijpen, dat, als ik niet goed oplette, mijn familie eronder zou lijden. Ik wilde niet de oorzaak zijn van de tranen en het verdriet. Niet meer.
