The Queen of Broken Things

By Deon Groenewald and Mikael Burke

A crown does not heal what it took to win it.

They crowned Miraleth beneath the black marble of the Ironhold and shouted her name until the rafters shook. She felt nothing. The tyrant is gone, the throne is hers, and the dead she loved are still dead.

Now the true test begins, in council chambers rather than on battlefields: wolves at the table who smile as they sharpen their knives, a peace that costs more than any war, a betrayal wearing the face of an ally. To hold the Ironhold, Miraleth must decide how much of herself she is willing to break. The girl who fled the fire is gone. What sits the throne now is something else.

The Queen of Broken Things is Book Four of The Ironhold Chronicles: a saga of court intrigue, the loneliness of power, and the price of a hard-won crown. High fantasy in the Gaelic-Scots highland tradition, for readers of Robin Hobb, John Gwynne, and Anthony Ryan.
