Monster, Monarch, Maiden

Sparkling romantasy and high-stakes political intrigue. Scintillating, slow-burning romantic tension and steadily paced action drive a taut plot that expertly weaves themes of self-discovery into an arduous trek across a harsh but changing landscape. Well-timed pops of dry wit pepper a pulse-pounding narrative throughout this epic, sweeping journey. - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
