Blurb:
In this riveting,
feminist tale perfect for fans of Katee Robert and Nalini Singh, two sisters
battle for a single throne, warring factions take up arms, a land is divided,
and uncertain allies become very certain lovers. With subtle commentary on
today’s political polarization, this riveting epic celebrates strong female
characters and champions the underdog with diverse, expert world building.
Gods save the queen!
Ainsley Farmerson has always planned to break free
of the family business—and the family drama. But what was once farming,
smithworking, and bickering over the dinner table has turned into open warfare
between sisters. Sides have been taken, lives are on the line, and Ainsley has
no doubt which sister must be queen. She’ll do whatever is necessary to take
down the soulless Beatrix. Even if that means joining forces with angry battle
nuns, irritating monks, and overbearing centaurs.
Gruffyn of the Torn Moon Clan has no time for
human beings. And yet . . . there is something about the uncontrollable
princess that he can’t ignore. Maybe it’s the way her eldest sisters
underestimate her. Or her bravery facing down dragons and mad queens from
distant lands. Whatever the reason, Gruff is willing to fight by this human’s
side. Not only for the entertainment value, but because she’s right. Beatrix
must never be queen. So whatever he has to do, whoever he has to destroy, Gruff
will battle beside Ainsley. Fast. Hard. And with absolutely no mercy.
My review:
The Heretic Royal is a smart, funny totally manic romp that
will have you thinking, giggle snorting and rooting for the most unlikely heroes.
I recommend reading The Blacksmith Queen and The Princess Knight
prior or you’ll get lost trying to figure out what in the world is going on. I
love that the author brought in characters from her Dragon Kin series to add to
the mayhem. Bring on Isadora.
