A Promise of Ice and Spite, (Paperback)

<p><strong>The Festival of the First Light was meant to be a celebration. Instead, it's a battlefield dressed in silk and song.</strong></p><p></p><p>Summoned to Highmark's radiant court, Queen Eurydice finds herself dazzling and despised in equal measure. Assassins stalk her every step, sent by rival queens who would rather see her dead than face her in the Killing Fields. Queen Liora, the Dawnmaker, offers Eurydice a glittering alliance-but at a price. If Eurydice refuses, she will be crushed in the final trial. If she accepts, she gambles her life on a queen she cannot trust.</p><p></p><p>Her only hope lies in a cursed weapon lost to legend, hidden by the infamous Courtbreaker. To claim it, Eurydice and Dorian must return to the Kingdom of Storms-her forsaken homeland-where acid has scoured the earth and, deep below the ground, endless darkness awaits.</p><p></p><p>But even if she returns with the blade in hand, one truth remains: in a trial where only those who bend the knee are spared, there can be no mercy.</p><p></p><p>A Promise of Ice and Spite is the second novel in a character-driven romantasy duet filled with deadly trials, courtly intrigue, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a fiercely competent heroine determined to survive on her own terms. Perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Throne of Glass, and The Bridge Kingdom.</p>
