Synopsis

The Queen of Crows, book two of the Sacred Throne Trilogy, continues the epic story of Heloise as she continues her journey from obscurity to greatness. Despite the crippling injuries she's received, Heloise stands tall against overwhelming odds with the help of alchemically-empowered armor and an unbreakable spirit. Heloise has grown from a shell-shocked girl into a figure of revolution, and as she draws in allies, her cause grows ever stronger. The time for hiding underground is over. Heloise must face the tyrannical Order and lay siege to the Imperial Palace itself.

About this title

Review:

"A heart-wrenching, blood-racing, all-around page-turner. Spare, vivid and surprisingly sensual, with a small, fierce heroine who will stick in your mind and live in your soul."--Diana Gabaldon on The Armored Saint

"Ruthless and heartwrenching." --Robin Hobb

"Cole weaves... a fantasy world that feels comfortably familiar, then goes to places you'd never expect. You won't stop turning pages until the stunning finish." --Peter V. Brett

"Brutal and lovely--an inventive and poignant fantasy that's rich with keen characters, set in a vivid, fascinating world." --Cherie Priest

"A dark fantasy tale with sharp teeth and a hard punch. Heloise is the hero we need, and Myke Cole is the writer to bring her transformation to light." --Chuck Wendig

"Intelligently written, fun, and brutal in equal measures." --Mark Lawrence

"Heloise is a wonderfully complicated character, and her unique dilemma will endear her to readers. The society that Cole creates in the book is unlike any other." --Booklist, starred review
