'Fiendishly charming and clever, this is a book you absolutely must devour' Tasha Suri, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne

'Epic fantasy at its finest - fiendish political intrigue, the ultimate trial for the throne and a shocking crime at the center. Simply glorious!' Georgia Summers, author of The City of Stardust
