She bides her time until the devious Lord Ekwensi grants her the perfect opportunity—kidnap the Aje prince, Jonas, and bargain with his life to save the remaining Oluso. With the help of her reckless childhood friend Colin, Dèmi succeeds, but discovers that she and Jonas share more than deadly secrets; every moment tangles them further into a forbidden, unmistakable attraction, much to Colin’s—and Dèmi’s—distress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kidnapping is now a joint mission: to return to the King, help get Lord Ekwensi on the council, and bolster the voice of the Oluso in a system designed to silence them.

The Oluso rebel. War is here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the end of Alistair Sorenson’s tyrannical reign, Dèmi has accepted Jonas’s proposal to rule as his Queen with hopes to finally free her people, the magical Oluso. Yet social prejudice, corrupt council members, and the continued distrust of the nonmagical Ajès throughout the kingdom prove seemingly implacable obstacles. To make matters worse, Dèmi struggles to control her newly awakened iron blood magic. As Ekwensi’s rebel army—led in part by Colin, her best friend and one-time lover—become more triumphant in their mission, war seems inevitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore long, a new evil appears that hunts Oluso and Ajè alike, promising desolation on a larger level than ever before. When the failed assassination puts the life of Dèmi’s loved one in danger as well as the future of the Oluso into question, Dèmi embarks on a treacherous journey to find an ancestral spirit whose aid could tip the scales in her favor. Whether her new powers will destroy the kingdom or heal the blood-soaked rifts that have pulled it apart, she does not know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the battles of swords and magic, there is the battle for Dèmi’s heart. Jonas—the former enemy prince—has divided loyalties despite his love for Dèmi. And Ekwensi and Colin have every intention of winning her to their side, while a past pledge hangs over Dèmi’s head. Dèmi is caught between the kingdom, her people, and the spirits, and must decide what sacrifices she is willing to make for peace, and whether she can outrun the greatest danger that constantly puts her in peril—her own heart. Only one thing is for certain…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere will be blood. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimilar Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegendborn by Tracy Deonn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003e*Please be aware that\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\"\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003eslight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\"\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003evariations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein color, hue, or overall appearance between our product images and the physical item\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\"\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003emay\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eoccur due to factors such as lighting, screen settings, and manufacturing\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\"\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003evariations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003e.
