The Twelve Kingdoms rest uneasy under their new High
Queen, reeling from civil war and unchecked magics. Few
remember that other powers once tested their borders—until a
troop of foreign warriors emerges with a challenge . . .
Jepp has been the heart of the queen’s elite guard, her
Hawks, since long before war split her homeland. But the
ease and grace that come to her naturally in fighting
leathers disappears when battles turn to politics. When a
scouting party arrives from far-away Dasnaria, bearing
veiled threats and subtle bluffs, Jepp is happy to let her
queen puzzle them out while she samples the pleasures of
their prince’s bed.
But the cultural norms allow that a Dasnarian woman may be
wife or bed-slave, never her own leader—and Jepp’s light use
of Prince Kral has sparked a diplomatic crisis. Banished
from court, she soon becomes the only envoy to Kral’s
strange and dangerous country, with little to rely on but
her wits, her knives—and the smolder of anger and attraction
that burns between her and him . . .
