A Crown of Blood and Ruin (The Broken Kingdoms #3)

The war has begun. But secrets have the power to destroy... everything.

A disgraced princess. A traitor. And now a queen. After renouncing her people and her birthright, Elise Lysandeer takes her place beside the new faerie king in a divided land. Revered by some and hated by many, the battle Elise must fight for her love and her freedom has only just begun.

When the secrets of Raven Spire Castle are revealed, Elise and Valen discover that their enemies wield more power than they ever imagined. And it will take more than swords for them to fulfill the dangerous request of Valen's imprisoned brother, destroy a prophecy of destiny guarded by Elise's ruthless sister, and forge an unwilling alliance with a mysterious thief from a neighboring kingdom—an alliance that could lead to ultimate victory or further death and destruction.

Blood calls and war is the answer.

For Elise and Valen, this war could mean the salvation they have fought so hard for... or a tragic end to everything they love.

This latest book, set in the northern kingdom, straddling the Viking universe and fairy tales, presents us with a lush world where there is no shortage of a love story with touches of humor and irony and a few epic battles.
