The Sequel to Crowned A Traitor.
The Realm isn't for the faint of heart.
Many moons have passed since Klara Lucifer fought to claim the throne of the Dark Forest of Malum.
The new treaty between the Fae Lands of Kalos and Malum has eased border restrictions, and a tense peace is holding between the two lands. However, when rumours of dark creatures going missing begin to reach Klara, the young queen worries that the concord is even more fragile than it appears. Could the Realms be hovering on the brink of war?
When the Fae Queen, Aemella of Kalos, invites Klara to a Kalion ball to honour their lasting peace and treaty, it's the perfect opportunity to find out what is lurking beneath Kalos' perfect surface - but it's not long before old enemies and Malum's dark history return to haunt Klara in a way she never could have expected. She soon will learn that the enemy of her enemy is not to be trusted.
A lavish evening hiding deadly secrets.
The rise of those fallen.
An unexpected ally.
Can Klara do what she must to save herself and those she loves... or will she end up imprisoned in a cage of her own making?
The sweetest fruit is easily poisoned.
