About this ebook

The King of Ethrea is dying. His only surviving heir is the Princess Rhian. But if her enemies have their way, Ethrea will not be ruled by a woman.

Dexterity Jones is a toymaker. To protect Princess Rhian and his country, he must place his trust in an exile from Mijak. Yet, as Ethrea comes ever closer to civil war, a greater danger awaits.

Across the sea, an Empress has already slaughtered millions in the name of her god. And the war will not end -until the world kneels before her.

Ratings and reviews

You wont walk away from this book as awestruck as you were when you read your first Tolkien novel, but you wont be bored by this novel either. Ethrea is a bit generic and not as interesting as Mijak in the first book of this series, but the characters Karen Miller creates are likable at the least.

I can't stop reading because it is so good.

I became so invested in the characters from this series. I didn't want to put the book down!
