About this ebook

For fans of bestselling author Marie Lu comes this heart-stopping first book in Ellen Oh’s trilogy about the greatest warrior in all of the Seven Kingdoms . . . a girl with yellow eyes. Intrigue and mystery, ancient lore and action-packed fantasy come together in this incredible debut!

Kira’s the only female in the king’s army, and she’s also the prince’s bodyguard. A demon slayer and an outcast, she’s hated by nearly everyone in her home city of Hansong. And she’s their only hope. . . .

Murdered kings and discovered traitors point to a demon invasion, sending Kira on the run with the young prince. He may be the savior predicted in the Dragon King’s prophecy, but the legendary lost ruby treasure just might be the true key to victory. With only the guidance of the cryptic prophecy, Kira must battle demon soldiers, an evil shaman, and the Demon Lord himself to find what was once lost, while raising a prince into a king.

Ratings and reviews

I found this book to be highly engaging and very well written. It reminds me somewhat of "eon" by Allison Goodman, which i enjoyed immensely. My biggest problem was that it was too short, i finished it in a couple of hours. If you're looking for an epic fantasy adventure i would recommend the "Inheritance" series of books by Christopher Paolini.

This is the author,Ellen Oh first book..And it is great There is intrigue,battles,and Kira is in the thick of it..A lone female warrior protecting the prince from all manner of danger,even demons..It is a fantastic read

This is a very thrilling book, has me excited at every page turn. Awaiting more thrill.
