The King is dead.
CORA RIVERHEART, heir to a broken kingdom and a war she did not want, is on her way to the capital and its ice Castle. On her way to take the throne of a people who do not want her.
RYLAN BROWNJAY, an assassin and a rebel, has his bones to pick to with the rulers of Ecrin. So here he is, sword in hand and magic in his veins, ready to kill the new Queen.
But everything goes wrong when the Queen and her High Lord prove too strong to take down in combat and Rylan's only way of survival is to swear a blood oath, binding himself to the very people he has been trained to fight.
With Cora trying to rebuild the kingdom and Rylan trying to save it, alliances are made and broken, beasts of whispers and nightmares are awoken, dreams are forged and forgotten, and the dead past rises from the stones. Will one of them triumph or will they both fall to blood and rebellion and conquest?
Long live the Queen.
