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. 

Some days, Drea wishes she had been killed by the man who seduced her. Now, she’s responsible for her mother’s failures, her sister is on a warpath that’s blinded by devotion, and the queen has threatened to brand her a traitor. Now, the only person she can confide in is Henry, the prince’s champion, the one person her magic is drawn to, and who would despise her if he knew the secrets she kept from him.

Meanwhile, Ella must convince the emperor of Holodal to sign a treaty to save Rairene, but she struggles to reforge her bond with Prince David, and she’ll need his help to do it. Raven has fled into criminal infested mountains with the secret of her identities 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, can keep Calla from giving in.

When a costly decision is exposed, all of them must decide what’s more important, following their heart or stopping the war.

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