The Queen is dead. Long live the King. 

As his mother’s execution is announced, the swing of the sword that would make Riffin King is inevitable. Torn between his need for vengeance and his desire to heed his mother’s lesson of biding his time, Riffin finds there seems to be no right answer to whatever he does—someone is always left disappointed or angered.

The Alliance Council, created by the nobles upon his mother’s death, want nothing more than to keep him in line. When faced with their demands to solidify the Alliance between him and the kingdom that killed his mother, Riffin finds the power left to him dwindling amidst the political warfare. 

With nothing but the lessons he’s been taught, and his most loyal at his side, Riffin must now navigate the fine line of what it means to rule—and what it takes to keep his crown.
