After years hiding the truth, even from themselves, they sit on the throne together as queens. It only took bringing an end to a horrible war\u2014and the direct intervention of a goddess\u2014for the citizens to accept a marriage between two young women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earning the respect of two kingdoms affords them the opportunity of learning how to lead, but goodwill won\u2019t last forever in the face of complacency. Their resolve is tested as beasts long thought mythical are spotted around the kingdom, threatening the citizens. The sightings take an ominous turn when a stranger wielding unknown powers strolls into the throne room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worse , the ancient curse still stalks Kitlyn. A cryptic message from a ghost offers her only chance to survive\u2026 if she dares risk the safety of the kingdom to spare her own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"144\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/5star-shiny-web.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/5star-shiny-web.png 144w, https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/5star-shiny-web-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 144px) 100vw, 144px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Series:<\/strong> Eldritch Heart (3)<br><strong>Genre:<\/strong> High fantasy, young adult, LGBT, adventure<br><strong>Intended audience:<\/strong> 13+<br><strong>Available from<\/strong>: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KWRS679\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> \u2022 <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/books2read.com\/u\/38MjZZ\" target=\"_blank\">Other <\/a>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/about?id=LdcBEAAAQBAJ&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Play<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/books\/signed-paperback-copies\/\">Signed Paperback<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/books-gallery\/\">Return to Books Main<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/series-list\/\">Go to Series List<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monarchs often face the consequences of a predecessor\u2019s actions\u2014but death is asking too much.
