About Queen of War and Ruin
Her kingdom is gone. Her war is just beginning.Zarek spent his entire life being useful. To King Malrik. To the court of Vsenrog. To the lie that kept him alive. He knew exactly what he was: a weapon in prince’s clothing, with no kingdom, no name, and no future worth claiming.
Then he married Lilias, the princess of Marion. And everything he knew about himself started to unravel.
Lilias survived her arranged marriage to the assassin prince. She survived poison, kidnapping, and the powerful men who pulled the strings behind every dark scheme.
But falling for the man she was forced to marry? That she might not survive.
Now Lilias is a fugitive, riding hard for a kingdom that no longer exists. And the man at her side, the husband she tried not to care about, is changing in ways neither of them understand, unlocking something dangerous in his blood.
Marion has fallen. Malrik’s armies are on the march, helped by an ancient elf who wants to turn Zarek into something even more dangerous than the assassin snake he once was. And the careful distance Lilias and Zarek kept between them for so long is gone.
There’s nowhere left to hide. From their enemies, from the war closing in around them, or from the explosive connection growing between them.
The adventure continues in Queen of War and Ruin, the highly anticipated sequel to Bride of Ash and Dust!
