All across Valoria and its neighboring kingdoms, Queens are rising. In the north, Ella advances, at the side of her husband. In the west, the Westover rebellion is gaining momentum, and Aileanna is at its head. Rose has been spirited away from her northern keep, and those who hold her name her as queen. In King's City, Elizabeth's hold on power is growing more and more unstable. In the south, Grace waits to make her move, but that move will be totally unexpected. In this return to Valoria, each side has made its opening move, and now it's all a matter of waiting to make the perfect move. *Volume 2 in the Queen's Crown series* Volume 1: *Opening* Completed Prequel: *Conquest* Ongoing
