The Sovereign Blades #2
The Dagger Queen
Skye Eskel has taken the throne of her kingdom. Despite opposition from all sides and a prophecy that promised her country's destruction, she's fought her way to the throne. Even as she secures her position, though, threats are mounting, from the blood cult led by her own estranged sister, to the vicious ghosts they've unleashed.
She has new visitors to contend with, too. Stuck playing host to a delegation from the Imaldran Empire, Skye must navigate a prince's demands, even as traitors rise all around her. Prince Inigo has an offer to make, one that might finally give this new queen the strength she needs to dismantle her enemies – or see her crown in the hands of a foreign king.
And despite all her efforts, the revenants are getting stronger. If Skye can't find a way to defeat them, whoever holds the throne will cease to matter. If both ghosts and Nocturnes can't be overcome, it won't be long before there's nothing left to rule.

About the author
Amy Sanderson
29 books10 followersI've been writing for as long as I can remember, inspired by a childhood fascination with books. By the time I was fifteen and confronted with school 'careers guidance', I'd decided being an author was the only profession I could possibly enjoy - which, of course, led to a string of other roles, including Archaeology student, bookseller and library assistant.
These days, I live in the North Yorkshire countryside with my partner, where we run a bed & breakfast business and smallholding. When I'm not working or writing, I enjoy reading, gaming, photography, and trying to pretend I'm a grown-up.

I am enjoying this series and I am certain it will close in a spectacular manner. It was more of the same with the queens lack of real advisors and the feel of her being a bit whiny. I really am burning to know about the time of Aelig and what really happened to the elves. So I am headed into the third in hopes of all that! Stay tuned
