The Queendom of Myre was created in blood when Queen Raina massacred the natives of the land and her own sister. Ever since, the indigenous people have been forced to live in prison camps and every queen must prove her strength by winning a battle to the death with her own sister. As Eva's 17th birthday approaches, so does the day she must face her older sister for the crown. If she has any hope of winning, she must find someone to teach her the form of magic she was born with. A rare and feared magic of blood and marrow that hasn't been seen since Queen Raina herself. Eva finds unlikely allies in a powerful fey godling and an enemy prince. But with an assassin hot on her tail, she may die even before the long-awaited battle on her birthday.
This novel, set in a North African inspired fantasy world, completely swept me away and left me engrossed in its characters and history. The world building and plotting are superb as Eva is faced with impossible choices and continues on in spite of it, finding her own path. If you like fantasy adventure stories, you will love this one.
