The Traitor's Blade

As tensions rise between kingdoms, four friends and an unlikely ally find themselves at the epicenter of war. Their triumphs and failures will determine where power flows, and who will be sacrificed.

Sometimes, Drea wishes she had been killed by the man who seduced her. She's now responsible for her mother's failure, her sister is on a warpath and blinded by devotion, and the queen has threatened to brand her a traitor. As if that wasn't bad enough, the only person she can confide in is Henry, the prince's champion, the one person her magic is drawn to, and that she absolutely should not fall in love with. Drea can either save her sister or the kingdom, but she can't do both.

Meanwhile, Ella must convince the emperor of Holodal into a treaty to save Rairene, but she struggles to reforge her bond and the prince, and she'll need his help to do it. Raven attempts to flee through criminal infested mountains with the secret of her true identity turning all of her plans inside out. Calla grapples with her power that threatens to devour her as she suffers in the dungeons of Evrotia. Only Mira, hiding in the shadows and whispering words of hope, can keep her from giving in.

The Traitor's Blade is the highly anticipated sequel to The Poisoned Crown and the third book in The Kingdoms of Assassins Chronicles.
