Aren has fled the palace, terrified that Av will one day take her life. She tells no one where she is going, no one sees her leave. Too far from the throne for it to be felt by others, Aren find herself in a small village that the rest of the world has forgotten about.
Back at the palace, Av is at his wit's end. With court winding down, he has the perfect excuse to explain Aren's absence. When Para brings Anue to court to winter with Aren, Av takes the opportunity to leave the palace before his frustration gets the best of him.
Winter is a time of little travel, but how long can Av wait?
And why, in the long, dark nights, does he hear queens crying in the darkness, begging for help?
RJ Price lives in Canada where she works and writes full time. When not doing either of those things she attempts to navigate social media and resists the urge to return to writing.
She has published novels in the fantasy genre and insists she is also a science fiction author, but has been too caught up in her Seat of Magic series to actually complete a science fiction novel for publishing.
I absolutely love this series!! It's so different and refreshing for me. Love Aren's attitude. I can not wait to see where her story goes next. I'm not going to say too much for fear of spoilers but definitely worth the read.
One of a series of fantasy books whose trademark seems to be short books with a longer book's pricing, cliffhanger endings, & it's not finished (the series) yet. It's a good story & I believe it suffers for the stretching out of the story into shorter than normal books.
