BOOK SYNOPSIS:
An Orphan’s Throne
Magic has broken free over the Twelve Kingdoms. The population is beset by shapeshifters and portents, landscapes that migrate, uncanny allies who are not quite human…and enemies eager to take advantage of the chaos.
Dafne Mailloux is no adventurer–she’s a librarian. But the High Queen trusts Dafne’s ability with languages, her way of winnowing the useful facts from a dusty scroll, and even more important, the subtlety and guile the arms of a barbarian king. He speaks no tongue she knows but that of power, yet he recognizes his captive as a valuable pawn. Dafne must submit to a wedding of alliance, becoming a prisoner-queen in a court she does not understand. If she is to save herself and her country, she will have to learn to read the that three decades under the thumb of a tyrant taught her.
Dafne never thought to need those skills again. But she accepts her duty. Until her journey drops her into heart of a wild stranger. And there are more secrets written there than even Dafne could suspect…
REVIEW:
There is so much going on in this story that to be honest I was confused more than half the time. Dafne has a chance to with with a king but feels her loyalty is to her queen so she rejects his advances.
There is a lot of back and forth with this story. Should I or shouldn’t I? It just got to be too much for me. You can NOT read this as a stand alone so don’t even try it.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
