The stunning sequel to Mortal Queens begins on selection day. Althea finds herself trapped in the Fae realm after her brother’s sweetheart is chosen as the next queen. Even worse is if Althea had a glass heart it would be cracked. She feels that Bash has repeatedly betrayed her trust but is it the other way around?
More deadly deals, oversized chess matches, shattered hearts, and Fae magic will stand in the way of Althea’s quest to save the future queens. If she can’t find a way to survive, history will continue to repeat itself, causing more mortals to die after her reign.
When a Game Master appears and proposes a kingship to anyone in the realm who can solve her puzzle, more clues and alliances bloom, as well as deceit and betrayal. Can Althea mend her relationship with the heartless king and save herself? Or will she have to choose between her life and the mortals who follow after her?
The ending of this book is Chiefs Kiss. All the right pieces fall (literally) in the right places. Every poor deal comes back to bite Alethea, but her cleverness continues to outwit the seven kings and their deadly realm. The separate journeys of every character come together to change the world…or worlds forever.
