Bryn Aven is on the run. Accused of being a traitor and a murderer, she has fled from her life and her home, leaving everyone she loves behind. But Bryn is a fighter and is determined to uncover who is behind this treachery.

If only she knew where to start...step in Konstantin Black. Genuinely concerned for Bryn and wanting to make amends for his actions in the past, Konstantin has turned against Victor Dalig, and has many of the answers that Bryn needs, and is more than willing to help Bryn in every way he can. Unsure of him at first, Bryn soon believes his side of the tale, of the deranged Queen who has been plotting her revenge for years, and is now ready to take over the Kanin kingdom. As they travel from the Omte tribe to the Trylle tribe, from Iskyla to Storvatten, Bryn's worse fears become apparent - great evil has taken over Doldastam and wants to destroy the world she knows. With unexpected allies, old enemies, love and devastating loss, war has been declared, but will good triumph over evil?

CRYSTAL KINGDOM by Amanda Hocking is the third book in the Kanin Chronicles. Bryn's journey continues as she tries to save her home and those she loves. But as the truth emerges, it becomes harder for Bryn to protect everyone and stay alive. But she never gives up, and I love that about her. As I have come to expect from Amanda Hocking, the action is engaging, exciting and heart-stopping in equal measure, and I couldn't put the book down until I knew how it would end. CRYSTAL KINGDOM and the Kanin Chronicles by Amanda Hocking, is a portal into a world of fantasy that is both beautiful and dangerous, and I enjoyed stepping through and becoming a part of the adventure.
