Produktbeschreibung
In less than a year, Kelsea Glynn has transformed from a gawky teenager into a powerful monarch. As she has come into her own as the Queen of the Tearling, the headstrong, visionary leader has also transformed her realm. In her quest to end corruption and restore justice, she has made many enemies?including the evil Red Queen, her fiercest rival, who has set her armies against the Tear. To protect her people from a devastating invasion, Kelsea did the unthinkable?she gave herself and her magical sapphires to her enemy, and named the Mace, trusted head of the Queen's Guard, as Regent in her place. The Mace will not rest until he and his men rescue their sovereign, imprisoned and imperiled in Mortmesne. While they embark on this dangerous mission, Kelsea must unravel the secrets of her own heritage and of the Tearling's past, secrets with stakes far higher than she could ever have imagined. But a powerful new enemy stands in her way. Bolstered by anger from the past and growing stronger by the day, he'll stop at nothing to destroy anyone who challenges his claim. Now, as the suspenseful endgame begins, the fate of Queen Kelsea?and the Tearling itself?will finally be revealed.

Rezensionen
"Kelsea flourishes alongside the other female characters at the center of the novel: These are powerful, determined women who work hard to accomplish their goals even as their mistakes haunt them. Johansen doesn't punish them for these mistakes; she allows them to grow, leading to a well-earned ending." - Washington Post

"Johansen has consistently taken huge narrative risks with this series. . . . With richly developed characters who are never boring black and white, and villains who are as fascinating as the heroes, the finale of this outstanding series will be talked about by readers." - Library Journal, Pick of the Month

"Johansen's vision-a society tearing itself apart amid the effort to redefine itself-is ambitious, and the conflict is fleshed out through myriad character arcs. . . . wraps up the story quite nicely." - Publishers Weekly

"Excellent." - Entertainment Weekly, "Must List"
