Summary

Best-selling author Jennifer Estep returns to her Crown of Shards world with an all-new trilogy and a bold new heroine who protects her kingdom from magic, murder, and mayhem by moonlighting as a spy. 

Gemma Ripley has a reputation for being a pampered princess who is more interested in pretty gowns, sparkling jewelry, and other frivolous things than learning how to rule the kingdom of Andvari. But her carefully crafted persona is just an act to hide the fact that Gemma is a powerful mind magier - and a spy. 

Gemma is undercover, trying to figure out who is stealing large amounts of tearstone from one of the Ripley royal mines when she encounters Prince Leonidas Morricone of Morta - her mortal enemy. Gemma tries to steer clear of the handsome prince, but when she finds herself behind enemy lines, she reluctantly joins forces with Leo. Also coming to Gemma’s aid is Grimley, her beloved gargoyle. 

Despite the fact that Andvari and Morta are old, bitter enemies, a dangerous attraction sparks between Gemma and Leo. Further complicating matters is Leo’s murderous family, especially Queen Maeven Morricone, the mastermind behind the infamous Seven Spire massacre. 

The closer Gemma gets to the stolen tearstone, the more deadly plots she uncovers. Everyone is trying to capture the crown, but only one queen can sit on the throne....

Love match??

An exciting start to the new series, set 16 years after the death of king maximum. But life for the next generation of royals is just as dangerous and finding love in a rival court is filled with even more pitfalls.

Not what you think !!!

The story is taking place in the same realm as the first 3 book
But
It’s 17 years later you end up in a children’s book with very long words.
It’s the most infantile Estep book ever !
Fortgang is brilliant as always !
When this is submitted I’m returning this goodnight story for seven years !

A very sad Estep fan !

A Pleasing Addition to the Series

I have to admit, I had slightly forgotten the story that came before this by the time I listened to the new installment. However, the story was creative and clever if quite dark and violent in places (torture anyone?). The narration was good and story held my attention, hope there is another book soon!

A Good Start.

This was a good start to what promises to be as good as the previous trilogy. My only unfavourable comment would be that Authors should not be allowed to write just one book whilst keeping the reader/listener hanging on the edge with no second book in sight! Just an observation.
