Protect the Prince: A Crown of Shards Novel

by Jennifer Estep

Book Overview

USA TODAY Bestseller

Magic, murder, adventure, and romance combine in this second novel in the exciting Crown of Shards saga from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Estep.

Everleigh Blair might be the new gladiator queen of Bellona, but her problems are far from over.

First, Evie has to deal with a court full of arrogant, demanding nobles, all of whom want to get their greedy hands on her crown. As if that wasn't bad enough, an assassin tries to kill Evie in her own throne room.

Despite the dangers, Evie goes ahead with a scheduled trip to the neighboring kingdom of Andvari in order to secure a desperately needed alliance. But complicating matters is the stubborn Andvarian king, who wants to punish Evie for the deaths of his countrymen during the Seven Spire massacre.

Dark forces are also at work inside the Andvarian palace, and Evie soon realizes that no one is safe. Worse, her immunity to magic starts acting in strange, unexpected ways, which makes Evie wonder whether she is truly strong enough to be a Winter Queen.

Evie's magic, life, and crown aren't the only things in danger--so is her heart, thanks to Lucas Sullivan, the Andvarian king's bastard son and Evie's ... well, Evie isn't quite sure what Sullivan is to her.

Only one thing is certain--protecting a prince might be even harder than killing a queen...

Happy

Wish there were more then 3 books in this series

Very surprised

I found this book by accident and I’m so happy I decided to read it! I would say that this series is great for anyone who enjoyed Throne of Glass or Red Queen. It holds the right amount of heroine trying to balance her choices and mysterious threats you don’t know are out there. I thoroughly enjoyed both books and I’m ready for the last of the trilogy!
