Perfect for you if...

You love morally grey heroines who've clawed their way to power and aren't about to lose it to scheming courtiers or assassins.
You're drawn to slow-burn romance with real tension, especially when the love interest complicates an already impossible political situation.
You want intricate fantasy world-building with magic systems that have actual consequences and limitations, not just solutions to plot problems.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels. This is book two in a series and assumes you know Evie's backstory and her rise to power.
You need your fantasy romance to be primarily about the relationship. The crown politics and survival stakes take centre stage here.
You're looking for a light read. This deals with murder, massacre fallout, and the paranoia of ruling a kingdom under threat.

About this book

Everleigh Blair is the new gladiator queen of Bellona, but her reign is already threatened. She faces pressure from nobles seeking her crown and survives an assassination attempt in her throne room. To secure a crucial alliance, Evie travels to the neighboring kingdom of Andvari. However, the Andvarian king resents her for deaths his countrymen suffered during the Seven Spire massacre. Dark forces operate within the Andvarian palace, putting everyone at risk. Evie's immunity to magic begins behaving unpredictably, raising doubts about her strength as a Winter Queen. Complications deepen when Evie encounters Lucas Sullivan, the Andvarian king's bastard son. As her feelings for him grow, Evie must navigate threats to her magic, life, crown, and heart. Protecting a prince proves as challenging as the path that made her queen.
