Power, Light and The Crown

Book Two

She was never meant to rule.

That doesn't mean she won't control those who do.

After the King's sudden death, Elara Sorrengail is forced into a role she never asked for-Duchess, rider, and unwilling player in a political game she knows all too well.

Her cousin now wears the crown.

And while he may sit on the throne, Elara has no intention of letting him destroy everything Xaden and the rebellion had been working towards.

Because power isn't about who rules.
It's about who they listen to.

But court politics are only the beginning.
War is coming.
Alliances are shifting.
And Basgiath is now longer a semi safe place, because Varrish has arrived.

Elara is learning to trust Kaerith again, but it is hard when she doesn't know if he will be more loyal to his parents, or her--his rider.

Xaden Riorson is still her husband who has been keeping secrets.
Garrick Tavis is still a steady presence keeping her sane.
And whatever exists between the three of them? It's only getting more intertwined.

Her signet is changing....evolving.
Light no longer behaves the way it used to.
And something new is beginning to stir beneath it.

With enemies closing in and tension rising on every front, Elara will have to decide:
Will she play their game?
Or will she be the one pulling the strings?
