Description: Events in Crotheny have taken a dark turn. The primeval force of nature called the Briar King is waking and taking back the land. Other ancient forces are also astir, and terrible creatures roam the countryside, devouring all that crosses their path and driving entire villages mad. Queen Murielle's hold on the crown fails as rival houses and a deeply corrupted church conspire to topple her or kill her with her husband and children. Prophecies say that a Dare queen must rule when the Briar King fully awakens or the world will come to a bloody end. And, in fact, war threatens as political tensions rise and fear pervades the land. Moreover, Anne Dare, Murielle's youngest daughter and the true heir to the throne, is missing, and the hope of finding her alive and well grows dimmer with each passing day. The excellent sequel to The Briar King continues to deliver impressive magical creatures, nonstop thrills, and engaging, believable characters. There will be more.
